I've not (yet) fooled around with trying to get LFS working, but I know 
there was some work on LFS in BSD4.4 done by Margo Seltzer and co.  This 
purportedly includes several bug fixes, as well as extending LFS to use 
fragments. You can find a discussion of various related issues in:
        http://das-www.harvard.edu/users/faculty/Margo_Seltzer/usenix.195.ht
ml
and you can get the mods to the LFS sources in :
        ftp://virtual.harvard.edu/pub/margo/usenix.195/lfs.tar.gz
The papers are interesting reading, as is Ousterhout's response.

These patches might also be in a NetBSD PR somewhere, but I couldn't find 
it on the PR query page.
