Hello lfs-book. Last year when I suffered the following failure:
"checking for library containing strerror... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES", I posted here: http://www.mail-archive.com/lfs-book@linuxfromscratch.org/msg13114.html about this, regarding possible changes to the way GCC was built or prerequisites needed to be revised, which in turn was based on the solution here: From http://www.mail-archive.com/lfs-book@linuxfromscratch.org/msg12674.html It was suggested that my hardware was too old and I should be running newer hardware and a newer host system. Well it appears since then the prerequisites have been revised, but despite this and despite the fact I am building on an i686 x86 system, I have the same error. Do the prerequisites need updating again I wonder? Or perhaps the build process needs to be re-examined? My version-check.sh output FYI: $ bash version-check.sh bash, version 4.0.28(2)-release /bin/sh -> /bin/bash Binutils: (GNU Binutils) 2.19.1 bison (GNU Bison) 2.4.1 /usr/bin/yacc -> /usr/bin/yacc bzip2, Version 1.0.5, 10-Dec-2007.

Is it really the prerequsites that are at fault here? It seems they might not be; it's certainly not the hardware, and it's nothing to do with CFLAGS. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
