I'll try to look tonight and see if what's in the bug is in the book.

As the order is now, there's no regression from the current SVN build.
 Testing was done with recursive building (ICA) and binary diffing
(both simple from Greg's gsbuild scripts and with Ken Moffat's farce
tool).

Chris is uncovering new dependencies all the time.  (Un)Fortunately,
he's recently uncovered a couple test suite dependencies that will
probably require some changes to the build order.  Anyone is welcome
to go to the bottom of ticket 684
(http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/684) and comment on the
libtool/autoconf/automake issues.

Gerard, some time ago you said you like to have Vim built as early as
possible.  Is this still the case?  I believe it can be moved right
after the current location of Readline without suffering any
regressions.

So, the status depends on two things:
1. Chris needs to give his opinion on whether the dependencies have
been exhausted
    or not.

2. We need to decide on a final order given the
libtool/autoconf/automake business and
    the location of Vim.  After this is decided, I'll kick off another
ICA run to make sure
    everything builds as expected.
