I was slightly confused as to where I was in the process but, auth_time.c still includes a reference to <rpcsvc/nis.h>. This is not installed by LFS-7.0. You can completely omit the functionality and it will build...no idea if the functionality it provides is limited to NIS however. At anyrate, if it can work, then we can get rid of the glibc-reinstalled headers. I'll be off testing... > Next is the previously mentioned netdb.h omission.
