Hello,
the patch named binutils-2.16.1-posix-1.patch is currently used in
cross-LFS, but not in the regular LFS. It fixes some calls to "head" and
"tail", for POSIX compliance. It has nothing to do with
cross-compilation techniques and thus has to be present either in both
cross and non-cross books, or in none.
The question is whether "both" or "none" is the correct answer. AFAIK
there are no hosts in the real world that don't understand "tail -1",
and the new version of coreutils says that disallowing this syntax was a
mistake.
