I've observed some failures building LFS on my old i3-3217U (at 1.8 GHz
with -j4), but forgot to update the book. Just got reminded by a
lfs-support post.
BLFS no longer contains ConsoleKit, and ConsoleKit can be considered
dead now (the ConsoleKit2 fork has no action in the recent year).
In BLFS systemd (with PAM) or elogind provide a similar functionality.
I can see no reason to mention ConsoleKit in the book now.
With the construct used in save_usrlib, if ld-linux-...dbg already
exists, it is stripped again and a file ld-linux-...dbg.dbg is
created. Prevent this by not listing files ending in "g".
Change nobody/nogroup uid/git to 65534.
Update to meson-0.62.1.
Update to libpipeline-1.5.6.
Update to elfutils-0.187.

Update to vim-8.2.4814.

Update to gcc-11.3.0.
Update to coreutils-9.1.
Update to bc-5.2.4.
In serveral places we use the pip3 command to install Python 3 programs
and modules for all users as root. This conflicts with the Python
developers' recommendation to build packages in a virtual environment as
a regular user. To this end, a multi-line warning is written when using
pip3 as the root user.
This change shows users how to avoid this warning.
Update to sysvinit-3.02.
Update to zlib-1.2.12.
Update to expat-2.4.8.
Update to Jinja2-3.1.1.
Update to Python-3.10.4.

Telling the user to override CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS may cause two problems:
1. We've added --with-gcc-arch=native, so the configure script will add
"-march=native" into CFLAGS. Then we've not really verified which
-march= value is the last one in the GCC command line and being really
used.
2. User may just export CFLAGS="-march=x86_64", without "-O2". This
will produce unoptimized binaries.
* update to expat-2.4.7 (#5019)
* update to bc-5.2.3 (#5020)
* update to linux-5.16.14 (#5021)
* update to perl-5.34.1 (#5022)
* update to vim-8.2.4567 (#4500)
Change pdf generation to use 9 point fonts for monospace
sections of the book. Otherwise texy overflows, especially
in Chapter 8, Stripping.
Fix a minor spacing issue in the stripping issue.
MAke a minor grammar fix in creatingfiles.xml.
This prevents a reference to /var/run in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/dbus.conf,
which would cause a warning from systemd-tmpfiles.
--with-system-pid-file=/run/dbus/pid is not needed with this, but
--with-console-auth-dir and --with-system-socket are still needed.
Now adjusting.xml only serves as a historical reference, and a "snip
library" for gcc.xml. Put all relevant content into gcc.xml directly
and remove adjusting.xml. If someone needs a historical reference, he
can always get adjusting.xml in Git history.
on the systems without non-loopback IP address
We'd observed this long ago with "unknown reason". I just saw it again
and did some investigation, found it depends on getaddrinfo() with
AI_ADDRCONFIG, which requires a non-loopback address.
Approved by bdubbs for 11.1.
To editors: no need to rebuild system and re-tag anything, AFAIK nothing
in BLFS uses libsubid now. You may delete /usr/lib/libsubid.a on your
system manually.
Add libc_malloc_check.so (it's like libmcheck.a, but should be used with
LD_PRELOAD).
Add description for libmvec.
"libnss" -> "libnss_*", and reword the description.
Add binutils-2.38 LTO patch.
Update to util-linux-2.37.4.
Update to man-db-2.10.1.
Update to linux-5.16.9.
Update to vim-8.2.4383.
Update to iana-etc-20220207.
In the new cross-compilation approach, the $PATH in chroot does not
contain '/tools/bin'. So "+h" is useless in chroot as the newly
installed tools always replace the temporary counterpart at the same
location.
"+h" in chapter4/settingenviron.xml is kept deliberately. Currently
$LFS/tools/bin only contains programs prefixed with
"x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-", and it's highly unlikely that any distro will
ever ship a program named with such prefix. So it may seems that we can
remove this "+h" as well. However, the situation may change in future
and we can take this oppertunity to teach the advantage and disvantage
of bash hash feature.
* tailf is removed completely
* fdformat is disabled by default, and we don't really have any reason
to enable it (and we'll need to workaround the missing man page issue
if we want to enable it)
* irqtop, lsirq, scriptreplay, and uclampset added
Add coreutils-9.0 chmod patch.
Update to glibc-2.35.
Update to linux-5.16.5.

Report on #lfs-support by "r1c0n3r0": the libhistory and libreadline
filenames have been wrong on the "stripping" page since realine
version bump. Fix taken (with slight modification) from William
Harrington's port to arm:
