I should say my build system slightly differe from LFS book:
- util-linux is build too on chap5 because we use mount before chap 6
- On that chap5 util-linux, I added --enable-arch some times ago in the hope
configure could run that on chap 6. But I just find today this is useless as
configure run /bin/arch, /usr/bin/arch but not /tools/bin/arch.
