I get bugs that are clearly caused by miscompiled tool chains from Linux
from scratch people. I trust the RH, SuSE and Debian tool chains because
they have any neccessary patches applied for compiler bugs and they are
running against a properly built glibc and binutils.

If you simply grab the latest and greatest of everything from
ftp.gnu.org then quite often it won't work.

If you'd like to me to spend hours debugging an LFS system where its
probably a tool error, then you can ask for current hourly rates.
