As GNU/Linux technologies and Open Source software are always advancing and new versions are released all the time with many features and under-the-hood improvements, Linux From Scratch and Beyond Linux From Scratch need to keep up, so that users are always building their systems with support for the latest software builds. Therefore, Linux From Scratch 7.10 and Beyond Linux From Scratch 7.10 are here to add support for the most important components of a GNU/Linux operating system, such as GCC (GNU Compiler Collection), which has been updated to version 6.2.0, Glibc (GNU C Library), which was bumped to build 2.24, and GNU Binutils 2.27.
