The new build method is in...

[Jeremy Huntwork]

...Mostly.

With revision 8755, the new build method from DIY is in place with the 
exception of support for multilib. (More on that in a second.)

I tried to make as many textual changes as I could to keep the accuracy 
of the book on a high level, but I'm sure I missed some things that 
referenced the old build methods. I would appreciate it if you all could 
take a second to read through Chapters 4 & 5 particularly to help spot 
discrepancies. Until the book renders tonight/tomorrow, there is a 
rendered version here:

There is no technical hindrance to bringing in multilib, the changes are 
minimal. The effect is not so minimal. I would like to know people's 
thoughts on how to deal with multilib in LFS. Specifically, how do we 
handle for x86, where multilib is not an option? Do we just have a note 
that says 'for 64-bit architectures only'? If so, how do we handle this 
in jhalfs?

Another side note, jhalfs can't currently handle the new build method 
becuase it hard-codes the build user's .bashrc file. A slight tweak in 
jhalfs to match what is now in Chapter 4 should take care of it. CCing 
George Boudreau so he can fix it up when he as a second.

Thanks!
