It means, use /bin/bash as interpreter for the script, and
exit immediately on any error.

Nothing in contrary.
But, the original poster was talking about 64 bit systems (CLFS)
so I was talking about only the flags at the bottom of the page
you pointed to. Where it says:
Moreover, I think that the physical RAM limit is more important
than the virtual memory one. At the very moment.
Because rarely a single process needs more than 3 GB of memory.
Instead, more frequently a PC runs many processes at a time,
and so the total amount of used memory could grow up.

Why not?
If my PC has 6 GB of RAM, and the CPU has a 64bit architecture, but
the O.S. is 32 bit, then it will never use more than 3-4 GB.
Am I wrong?

It helps alot in finding files installed with a certain package.
I have not installed GNOME yet, I'm going to. But for the
