I had no FAILs at all and The only Errors were from glibc: make[3]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/posix/tst-getaddrinfo4.out] Error 1 make[3]: [/sources/glibc-build/posix/annexc.out] Error 1 (ignored) make[3]: [/sources/glibc-build/conform/run-conformtest.out] Error 1 (ignored) OTOH, I understand the concerns. I'll revert what I did in my sandbox and rebuild and from that do -rc2. I will still take the advice in Chapter 3: "The Linux kernel is updated relatively often, many times due to discoveries of security vulnerabilities. The latest available 3.10.x kernel version should be used" -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
