I created a way to make a "build area" using the overlayfs that is in the linux kernel environment so you can build LFS/BLFS that completely protects your host system from the building process.

I have placed it on github if you would like to have a gander at it

https://github.com/baho-utot/Overlay

to use it change directory to some place to your liking, I use /usr/src

    cd /usr/src

    git clone https://github.com/baho-utot/Overlay.git

    cd Overlay

    make

    make chroot

    you are now in the protected "jail"

You then have a clone of your host system less the /home directory

    I then cd to /usr/src and git clone my LFS build system there and run it.

I am using Raspian as my host system and while I am in the protected "jail" can installed software using apt.  The installed only is installed to the protected "jail" and doesn't affect the your host system
