hi,
not sure where to send this (lfs.support of alfs.discuss), followup goes to lfs.support
i'm building lfs-6.0 using nALFS and the latest profile from svn. the build fails in section 5.25 when ncurses is being configured, complaining about sort:
cat curses.head >curses.h
AWK=mawk sh ./MKkey_defs.sh ./Caps >>curses.h
./MKkey_defs.sh: line 60: 2003 Illegal instruction sort -k 6 $DATA >$data 2>/dev/null
./MKkey_defs.sh: line 60: 2004 Illegal instruction sort -n +5 $DATA >$data 2>/dev/null
Your sort utility is broken. Please install one that works.
this is a know issue caused by glibc>=2.3.2 and coreutils, but it shouldn't happen because there is a workaround (building coreutils using "DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION=199209 ./configure --prefix=/tools") and this workaround is in the lfs profile. hence the coreutils build in section 5.16 should be ok, and sort should work as expected.
clearly there's something going wrong. i'm thinking it has to do something with the way nALFS handles environment variables, but then nobody but me has ever had this problem with the profile. or is there something else i've done wrong?

Illegal instruction is the key here - it's not the bug fixed by DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION. I'm betting somehow coreutils got built with incorrect cflags (-march on the wrong processor, or something like that), and that's causing the issue.
