Sorry Ken, I've been stuck at work all day today, but I've already got a version tested and passed that I should have informed the list about. I know there's a recommendation in the book to not run the tests, but it's the only package that contains a test suite that has such a comment against it. Yes, the tests take a long time, but they are not dangerous (as far as I know) and therefore if a user has taken the decision to run all chapter 6 tests, then these should be run too, IMO. That said, I'll repeat *again* that I don't see the value in having the autotools installed in LFS anyway, but I know that's flogging a dead horse.
