1. Declare UNIX98 PTY requirement in host system requirements and check
it in the script. All desktop or server distros should have it now,
but let's stop anyone from building on a embedded distro w/o UNIX98
PTY early...
2. Use Expect test suite as a guard against mishandled $LFS/dev/pts.
3. No need to test the basic function of Expect in Binutils anymore
because if ($LFS)/dev/pts is not good, the Expect test suite would
have failed.

to recommend a minumum number of cores and memory size.

"ext{234}" file systems. Clean up English idiom here and there.
Standardize the spelling of "file system"; unless it's part of a
command or something like that, it should be written as two words.
of installed programs. Added (link to setarch) to the five items that
link to setarch. Corrected erroneous description of swapoff. Clarified
some of the "short descriptions". Changed the imperative mood to the
indicative mood, and added an "s" to a couple of possessive nouns.

help screen doesn't match the man page. Also, there's an action
("tc chain") in the synopsis section that is not further explained
in the body of man tc. Documentation may be inaccurate.
end" -- it's twp words, not one. Changed square brackets to parentheses;
square brackets should only be used to delimit editorial remarks. Removed
one definite article referring to the plural; "the" implies a single
object. Changed "amount" to "number". In English, an amount refers to
a continuous quantity, while a number refers to discrete objects (like
networking packetts). Added a qualifier in the description of "ip":
the list of commands is not exhaustive. Modified a few program
descriptons to improve consistency of style. Changed QOS and COS
to QoS and CoS after researching these abbreviations on the internet.
"Quality of Service" and "Class of Service" appear, to me, to be the
most common way of writing these phrases.
idiomatic. Clarified meaning of configure options. Made several minor
revisions in program descriptions to improve readability. Added a
little explanatory material. Changed imperative mood to indicative
mood where that was appropriate.
text and images. Patched English idiom. Added a little information
about Pinyin (Chinese spelled like English) and grap (an old Unix
command for creating graphs).
We are already using "MAJOR" and "MINOR" in OpenSSL, do the same here.
The semantic versioning documentation (https://semver.org/) always use
"patch level", not "Patch level". But let's explain it a little to
prevent puzzling people.
On wikipedia, "dlopen" redirects to "dynamic loading" and there is a
specific warning:
"Dynamically loaded library" redirects here. Not to be confused with
dynamically linked library.
pip3 -- the pip program processes both commands (e.g., install) and
options (e.g., --no-index). Expressed option / command descriptions
in the iindicative mood. The imperative mood should only be used to
tell the reader what to do, not in explanatory verbiage. Inserted
the definite article here and there. Corrected a misspelled instance
of the indefinite article: we don't say "an utility" because the
initial phoneme in "utility" is pronounced as YOO.
Inserted the definite article where idiom requires it. Added more
detail to an option description. Broke an extremely long paragraph
into three pieces; cleaned up English idiom and punctuation all the
way through this section. In "Short Descriptions", inserted periods
where appropriate, and clarified the description of python3, which
is a program, not a language.
appears once. Improved idiom ("as shown below"). "command line" is
two words; "front end" is two words. "Swiss Army" is a trademark;
it should be caputalized.
perfect tense when appropriate. Replace "dlopening" with "opening
dynamically linked libraries" ... "dlopen" may be a Linux command,
but that doesn't make it a verb in English.

Otherwise, As Xi has noticed, the password set for root at the end
of lfs may use the value 5000 for rounds, and not be changed, even
if later the number of rounds is increased.
names of packages. Clarified verbiage in re PIE & ASLR. Improved the
description of SSP, and tightened it up. Clarified the instructions
for running tests concurrently. Modified descriptions of tests that
fail. Patched up punctuation. Spelled "set up" correctly: "setup" is
a noun. The phrasal verb used here is spelled as two words. Use the
word "directives" to describe "#include" and similar preprocessor
instructions. Add periods to some otherwise complete sentences.
I was using the transitive verb "process" here, not the noun. Use
another word to avoid the ambiguity. Also add "and groups" because
there is also subgid alongside subuid.
sort-NaN-infloop no longer fails now, it seems covered up by PIE or SSP.
test-getlogin keeps failing in Bruce's build. Not sure how to reproduce
the failure deterministically.
verbiage. Used the subjunctive mood once. "Test suite" is two words, not
one. Patched some unidiomatic English. Used the plural "headers" when
discussing ELF objects. Used singular verbs to describe "gprofng", for
consistency with other items.
modifies the plural noun "libraries"; it must use a plural verb.
Clarified how many "configure" options Readline uses. Tightened the
prose, and used the definite article in lieu of the indefinite article,
because only one readline.pc file can possibly be the "correct" one.
