By the time people build the kernel for their system, they already have pulled 
packages from BLFS before they chroot. Some users get real exotic and put wget 
and ncftp in their temp system. We don't need openssl even in ch5 or ch6. All 
that is needed is a note stating if the user decides to sign their modules, to 
install OpenSSL from BLFS.

When building a bootable temp system I like to cross-compile openssl, wget, 
dropbear, iproute2, iputils, dhcpcd, and some others before I even boot into 
the system, but that is beyond the scope of the book.

If the user decides they want to sign their modules for whatever reason, they 
will already know they'll need OpenSSL when building their kernel.

All they have to do is read 
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/module-signing.txt

LFS is just a base build.

Sincerely,

William Harrington
