Ok, I was misinterpreting "mainline" as "not stable", thanks for
correcting me.

Do you think the patch should go in the book? I presented it to perhaps
interest others and start a discussion, so I could learn what was
happening. Should we not hear from other people if it is just one of my
systems?

Further: I am sure you and others in this (B)LFS entourage can easily
transform the patch in sed, if needed to go in the book.

I will try later today to find differences in the five systems where I
installed 3.4.0, but for my level of knowledge, it was alread difficult
and great to have solved the mistery I faced.

I do not understand. Have you already commited? I only saw it as
"assigned", and my intention was just to warn about the problem I faced
and better understand it.

I know that, Matt.

I am grateful for your contributions to us all using (B)LFS.
