Hearing several successful reports with LFS, I suspect my unstableness
of LFS is due to a misplaced local patch in lfs_truncate(),
which was intended to fix mmap problem to make emacs buildable in LFS.
I disabled this modification and LFS seems to be much more stable.
I'll send-pr this mmap problem shortly.

I use LFS to keep object directory with /usr/src in a FFS partition.
If ld(1) uses ftruncate to increse filesize or lseek beyond filesize,
I must have been bitten by my misplaced patch.
