It depends on the failure.  For what I've seen in LFS they don't really 
know what the failure is all about. :-(

I'm not like that.  If I'm going to ignore the test log, I don't even 
test it! ;-)  However, if I run the tests I check the logs.

That's a good plan.  In my tests GCC 4.1.1 is not that good.  It causes 
several failures in KDE.  I have seen several patches that have been 
merged into 4.2, so I'm waiting for that as well.  Hopefully GCC 4.2 
and Glibc 2.5.1 will be released pretty close to eachother.
