Hello, Bruce.
First of all thanks for your great job.

Here're some issues from current development version of BLFS book that I
found:

Chapter 25. X Window System Environment
> X Window System Components

1. Code:
mkdir $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/twm &&
ln -svt /etc/X11 \
    $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/{twm,xkb,fs,lbxproxy,proxymngr} \
    $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/{rstart,xdm,xinit,xserver,xsm} \
    $XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/app-defaults

I think it should be something like this (look at -> xkb <-):

 No argument that it is deprecated and ought to be pulled out when
the book goes to 7.2 (if not sooner), nor that it is broken, but the
fix for Greek is a simple
 ln -sf gr /usr/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/el
