At the moment I'm renaming all my .la files and the build itself has been fine. But the only update I've made has been to firefox-20 on one of the systems (the others were built with that version). When I had problems in the past it was several months into the systems' life, so for me this is like the results of the French Revolution : too early to say.

I only ran the toolchain tests because my scripts are set up to always do that. And I was surprised how quick it was. The first build was on my phonon, which is supposedly a faster machine (SBU times now suggest otherwise, at least with ondemand cpufreq). It looks like the elapsed time for LFS chapter 6, with tests, was something like 4.5 hours net (but built in three or four phases, probably because of script errors. And that _was_ with -j3 'make' on most things (but definitely not -j4 : this box loses its lunch if I do that on anything complex, sometimes it even fails in kernel builds with -j4). ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
