Gentlemen, I really did not want to stir up a major debate. I am sorry
if my little problems have caused and issue. I have the greatest
respect for LFS and I really do see it as a true open source project
where people can learn while doing.

I did run into some little issues and if I were a tad more careful
with that version check script then I never would have hit this.

Maybe the question on the table here should be "what are the bare
minimal requirements from which you can begin work?"

I think that make and bison and flex etc etc can all be built if
the user has at least GCC and some sort of running system. Am I
wrong to think this way ?
