[lfs-dev] grub with uefi for LFS 10?
With efi being more the standard now, I'd like to ask if we could default grub to supporting uefi instead of having to use the uefi hint. Or at last maybe formalize it and make it an option, where you can pick bios/mbr or uefi option. Just a thought.

[lfs-dev] su needed in chapter 8 build of gcc but not configured in chapter 7 util-linux
I'm rebuilding LFS, using Thomas' multilib patch, but I checked the standard publication and it references using su to use the non-privileged account tester for testing the gcc build. In chapter 7 for Util-linux, the default configure options has --disable-su. I still couldn't get it to work after rebuilding util-linux with su enabled, but if I used the full path to su, /bin/su, it worked. If I did 'whereis su' it shows it in /bin, and my path shows /bin as the first option, so not sure why that wasn't working. Anyway, thought I'd let you all know.

[lfs-dev] Need update to Fop-2.4 instructions
I'm building a current LFS/BLFS system and while loading Fop-2.4 this morning, the required download links for PDFBox and PDFBox Fonts need to be updated to pdfbox/2.0.19. It looks like this was updated Feb 20th. Also, just a side question, has anyone done a LFS/BLFS Systemd-multilib patch? I followed Thomas' updated LFS multilib but I wanted systemd so I finangled my way through combining the systemd build and his multilib build to get LFS complete. I just wasn't sure how much of BLFS would also need to be compiled multilib for it all to work together nicely.

[lfs-dev] Multilib patch
Whatever happened to the multilib patch? I was following the thread back in August 2018: On 08/25/2018 12:13 AM, DJ Lucas wrote: >* One more thing, need to add lib32 paths to remove-la-files.sh. I, thus *>* far, have not messed with lib32x. I used a separate path for files in *>* /usr/lib32.

Regardless of the libdir value in the pc file, the libraries themselves will always be in the library search path because of our change to /etc/ld.so.conf. --DJ and then it seemed to die. I've found this: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~dj/lfs-systemd-multilib/ from Nov 2018. However, I'd love to help/test/edit an updated multilib patch to work against the current 9.1 version of LFS/BLFS. I was able to get my printer to work with multilib using these outdated references, but I was only able to get steam to function with a flatpak. If DJ or Thomas would like to revisit the multilib patch or lfs-systemd-multilib version of the book, I'd love to help.
