<para>In addition to the packages, several patches are also required.
These patches correct any mistakes in the packages that should be
fixed by the maintainer.  The patches also make small modifications to
make the packages easier to work with. The following patches will be
needed to build an LFS system:</para>

optional patches created by the LFS community. These optional patches
solve minor problems or enable functionality that is not enabled by
default. Feel free to peruse the patches database located at

patches to suit the system needs.</para>
