Pierre,
   I appreciate what you are trying to do, but I might suggest that it 
is a little out of scope for LFS/BLFS.  It's really up the the 
developers to test their packages and fix problems.

   What you suggest really reminds me of some of the goals of artificial 
intelligence, a really hard subject.  There are just too many decisions 
to make in an LFS/BLFS build to do any significant testing beyond "do 
the instructions work".  Even that is extremely difficult when you take 
optional dependencies into account.
