Description
The Util-linux-ng instructions have the following issues:
/usr/bin/wall from the sysvinit package is overwritten. We must decide which one to use and attempt to eliminate the other one from being installed. "wall" should be added to the program descriptions as well if the Util-linux-ng version is used.
The "write" program will only be built and installed if a configure switch is passed. If it isn't desired any longer (not passing the switch), then the program description should be removed from the book text.
Additionally, CLFS build passes a configure switch so that the "partx" and related programs are built and installed. Probably not a bad idea.

Also util-linux-ng doesn't install rdev (or it's links) anymore, so the book text should be updated for that too.

I modified the sysvinit installation to suppress the installation of the wall binary.
Util-linux-ng was updated to now build the arch binary, the partx utilities and the write binary.
All the program lists and descriptions were updated.
All of the above accomplished in r8638-r8640.
Closing the ticket.
If it helps making a decision: I'd much prefer the wall from Util-linux-ng. This is because I don't install sysvinit, preferring runit, and runit needs wall for it's ctl-alt-del script. (Don't ask me why a replacement for sysvinit needs a routine from sysvinit)
