there is still 2 minor isssues.
- when looking at make-3.81 vs 3.82 build on one machine, the only file that
check_files find different is /lib/libproc-3.2.8.so. On that machine, I run
ps and had the 'Unknown HZ value' that LFS fix with one patch, this resolve
that issue. I will add that patch. You are more likely to see this message
not so long after the machine has started/rebooted because soem jiffies
added in linux-2.6 are missing,

- the other issue is in log

Ok I will do that, I will commit make-3.82 once the procps patch is added.
For gcc, that may be a bit later, more probably next week.
