I suggest you read the LFS book at
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lfs/html/index.html or if like me you don't
have an always-on net connection :'( you can download it in
ridiculously highly compressed form:
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lfs/lfs.html.tar.gz :)

I reckon LFS is like having a baby: You have to read at least one book
which will tell you what can go wrong and get you so worried that you
wish you hadn't started the whole thing in the first place, but then
you remember how fun the process that started it all off was.
