Thanks for this, Jamenson. I've tried to improve README.BLFS, but I am
not sure where to add the procedure you propose. Also it is slightly
different if installing the BLFS tools directly when building LFS. and
we should have some pre-steps for installation of the tools... There is
an (old and unmaintained) CHEETSHEAT, that I may update in a few days.
