I'm currently using the DESTDIR approach because it's a little simpler - the old LD_PRELOAD approach I was using was broken for 64-bit systems, and rather than fix it I decided to go with something more similar to how the distros would do it. So far I've not had any great problems, though admittedly I'm so far only building the core LFS with this set of scripts, not the wider variety of packages in BLFS... Hmm... it occurs to me that while using FS monitoring (or your 'find' based approach) is neat, it's not parallel-safe. I'm guessing you don't install more than one package simultaneously? My current build scripts basically consist of a generated Makefile to deal with dependencies, and it copes quite happily with being run with half a dozen processes... Simon.
