Hi, Sorry in advance for the reply, I use the lfs-digest. And sorry for my poor english too. :)
jhalfs is interresting. I made a similar project which use a modified garnome/lnx-bbc scripts. One Makefile per package, it works with cookies to know which steps are made and create a tar.7z package for the distribution Hedinux (http://hedinux.org), it's a young project. There is the possiblitity to not create a package and to install directly. See http://wiki.hedinux.org/wakka.php?wiki=HedgarBook (in french) and specialy http://wiki.hedinux.org/wakka.php?wiki=HedGarEN in english with some sentences in french, sorry, but IMO you sould understand the concept. :) http://wiki.hedinux.org/wakka.php?wiki=HedGarExamples (in french, but you can understand, it's in majority codes and commands) I have recently modified my Makefiles to compile with gcc 4.0.1, in fact we can choose to compile with gcc3 or gcc4, I have not tested gcc4 yet, but it should work. This project is a simple LFS for the base system, I synchronise the Makefiles with LFS SVN book every week. It should be easy to modify the Makefiles to compile for other architecture like ppc, but I have not ppc at home. The interesting directories are hedgar/tmpsys/, hedgar/chroot/ and hedgar/base/ You should look how I've made the chroot step. I'm happy if it can help you.
