    16 This does not belong on this page.  I don't want to address this now.
    17 At first I thought it would go on another page, but nothing seems to fit.
    18 Perhaps a new page - somthing like 'Upgrading an Existing LFS System'.

    21   <caution>
    22     <para>
    23       During a development cycle of LFS, the instructions in the book is
    24       often modified to adapt for a package update or take the advantage of
    25       new features from updated packages.  Mixing up the instructions of
    26       different versions of the LFS book can cause subtle breakages.  This
    27       kind of issue is generally a result from reusing some script created
    28       for a prior LFS release.  Such a reuse is strongly discouraged.  If
    29       you are reusing scripts for a prior LFS release for any reason, you'll
    30       need to be very careful to update the scripts to match current version
    31       of the LFS book.

    35   <para>In the 12.0 release, <parameter>- -disable-fixincludes</parameter>
    36   is set for GCC.  It's a configure switch newly added in GCC 13.1 to
    37   prevent GCC from <quote>fixing</quote> the system headers.  Such a
    38   <quote>fix</quote> is unnecessary for a modern Linux system and may cause
    39   issues if a package is updated after installing GCC.</para>
