linux from scratch

[Michael Havens]

 I have no idea why the programs libgmp.la libmpfr.la libmpc.la and glibc
are needed. All I know is that linux from scratch says it needs it. This
has nothing to do with modifying grub. That was a separate issue in that I
need to make it so the machine doesn't go to sleep.
