Message:

Texlive-2017, and tag most of it for gcc-7.1. For the binary installer I have not tagged that (only installed the release on 8.0), but I did run the pretest, and therefore ncurses5 and readline6, on a gcc-7.1 system.

+      There are two reasons why you may wish to install the binaries in BLFS:
