I have successfully made it so far to the end of Ch 6 (Ch 7 to come) 
using RH7.3 and the packages recommended for the LFS project (version 
4.1). I had unresolved troubles trying to use the later library versions 
accompanying my (don't touch) Mandrake 9.1 (about equivalent of  RH8), 
and so reverted to an available copy of RH7.3 on which to try to byuild 
Pocket Linux on the supposition that some of the later editions of the 
libraries in M9.1 might be the problem.

The one trouble I have had with RH7.3 was with the mtab mounts link 
(Ch5.3.6), but followed previous advice on the PL website and left it 
out, writing an mtab (using gedit) as it was supposed to look, as set 
out in Ch5.4.2. That worked.
