May you can commit the kernel 3.4 upgrade stuff you already have and others can
test+modify it?!

IIRC I read somewhere kernel 3.0 should be EOL oct 2013. So we really should
upgrade to 3.4 for 2.1.x.

I'm currently upgrading Perl to Debian Wheezy (5.14.2-x). I have tweaked
lfs/perl like described in LFS 7.1 and both toolchain and base are compiling
fine. The Perl rootfile is already changed but needs some testing if something
is missing.
Too the old Perl 5.10.1 is 'rm -f ...' in update-2.1.0-setup (needs testing).
The update-rootfiles probably needs some more (new) Perl files, have to check
this. Only want to have the regular Perl rootfile working before working on the
update rootfile.

Is there anything else I have to tweak/look into?

best regards,
Achim

Want to push 2.1.1 forward...
