Never encountered a hostname problem. Debian jessie system has default  
hostname of jessie and I don't change it.

Indeed, having pkg-config on the host causes problems with util-linux  
and the chroot method.

PKG_CONFIG= to util-linux configure line solved that issue.

I suppose more sane hosts with development packages installed will  
have pkg-config.

I mostly use debian and the lfs livecd I update so often to build with  
and never encountered that. I suppose instead of having jhalfs fix  
that part, we can add that to the book, as that'd be the proper place  
for it.

Sincerely,
