Hey guys, I recently added some BLFS support and got "startx" running, at which point I decided to run "firefox" so I can follow along with further installation of packages. However "firefox" wouldn't build because it turns out "python2" determined (during its configuration), that POSIX semaphores were not supported. This occurred both when booted and also when "chrooted" to LFS partition. Up until success with "startx" I was mostly running with "chroot" since that is easier. The failure occurred when testing the result of generating a code file to use "sem_open()". When I tried that code myself, it built and ran perfectly. So my temp. solution is to force the configure of Python2 so that it believes that the test worked. After that I could build Python2 with sempahores enabled, and thus firefox went without a hitch.
