I'm not the one who reported it Armin, but those files are not problematic on Slackware. I've used Slackware 14.1 as a host for my work with porting Runit into a custom LFS build and Slackware works completely fine with building LFS and is actually one of the top recommended distributions to build LFS at LinuxQuestions.org. We have noticed however if a distribution lacks one of those libraries that LFS becomes nearly impossible to build, such as Ubuntu which no longer includes libmpc.la and requires a complete rebuild of the package before attempting to install, as seen in this topic: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-from-scratch-13/i-can%27t-perfome-make-install-commond-while-build-binutils-build-lfs-plzzz-help-me-4175517040/ Hope this helps.
