 My notes are still at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~ken/fonts/CLFS/CLFS-UTF-8
(I don't have an account on the clfs server) and the patch to the
old bootscripts is somewhere above them.

 I haven't updated that in a long time because it still works for
me. I haven't used gcc-4.3 yet, but I have used the current
clfs glibc-2.8 which includes libidn.

 When I was first trying this on multilib I managed to break the
symlinks several times.  I also think I had a problem with the
non-wide ncurses on my current build so perhaps soemthing changed
somewhere.

 Man-pages are a separate issue: what I do in that reference works,
but only for UTF-8.  The developments in man-db sound interesting,
but I haven't had time to try that (and anyway it probably needs an
older groff).
