<title>General Compilation Instructions</title>
+ <caution>
+ <para>
+ During a development cycle of LFS, the instructions in the book are
+ often modified to adapt for a package update or take the advantage of
+ new features from updated packages. Mixing up the instructions of
+ different versions of the LFS book can cause subtle breakages. This
+ kind of issue is generally a result from reusing some script created
+ for a prior LFS release. Such a reuse is strongly discouraged. If
+ you are reusing scripts for a prior LFS release for any reason, you'll
+ need to be very careful to update the scripts to match current version
+ of the LFS book.
