I think some changes like the read-only filesystem should go into the
LFS book as well, since they do not cause any harm (as far as I can
think of), are rather easy to implement (a sed/patch for glibc and a
symlink, IIRC?) and are really useful...

I don't assume every other book maintainer agrees on that, but I'd be
happy to see something here like it happened with the PLFS integration.
First, create a somewhat improved system/build method, and then
integrate it into the book (or parts of it that can be useful for
everybody).


Another thought, what about gcc security patches like the one(s?) used
in OpenBSD? To prevent stack overflows.

Have fun,
