Now, kernel compiles that set but don't use variables in a whole bunch of places will cause the make to fail. That's nice of GCC to point out these types of warnings and the kernel Makefile wants these warnings, but we don't really want the make to stop because of them. See -dev mailing list thread finding this on a MIPS build: http://lists.cross-lfs.org/pipermail/clfs-dev-cross-lfs.org/2011-April/000941.html LKML also found this on PowerPC: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/9/229 The proposed workaround is some sed'ing but there might be kernel patches in the works as well to simply fix this.

However, this is essentially a completely different issue for the sysroot book since it will be looking at program locations on the host system. In a way it simplifies things because the build order is less important, but it can also cause problems when programs on the host system that packages hard-code paths to are not in the same place on the host system as on the final CLFS system. The most obvious way to solve this is to create symlinks on the host to any such programs, but we do want to avoid touching the host whenever possible.
