It doesn't matter to me personally. A lot of lists for vi folks do top post 
though.
I strike a compromise between the ones that do and the ones like this which 
bottom post by quoting.
Anyway, as for hardware, I'm afraid I'm not much of an expert on that 
particular topic. In order to get hardware synthesizers to work in newer 
kernels, though, we have to patch them (which I'll mention in my hint when I 
write it.)
I don't currently have such a synthesizer, but it's worth mentioning in case 
someone who has such a thing wants to try LFS one day.

I'd certainly be very interested in learning such info in practice.

Although the software side would be the main info, if possible could
there be some details on hardware that would be used typically.

For me, libls.sh failed (jhalfs build). I agree that it passes when everything
is built...

I have not kept the test-suite log, so I cannot tell what the error was coming
from.

Could you send the exact text of the error (with a few lines of context)
