 First, from your other reply I can't see anything wrong.  You don't
need to keep the directories from the earlier builds, but renaming
them and using fresh extracts of gcc-4.2.0 and a fresh gcc-build
should be fine.

 I don't know what to suggest for your problem - when people get
strange errors, it usually means that either they reused existing
toolchain directories (we see this from time to time on LFS), or
perhaps that the host's toolchain is being used.  You seem ok on
both.  What are those XDG variables used by ?

 As for bash in the temporary system, google reminded me that I'd
seen it before -
 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.lfs.clfs.devel/555

 For me, it was a showstopper, but because I'm building on a G5
which uses linux32 to emulate a regular ppc there is a possibility
that the propblem is something I'm doing.  I hope to look at it
again in a few days (first, complete the 32-bit system on a separate
partition, then look at another gcc patch to see if it will help on
ppc64, ...).  Nobody else has reported this, but then the number of
people using the development book in any arch and commenting on the
lists is probably in single figures.

 So, for now I'm saying that it _might_ blow up when you come to
bash.  But first, you need to get there.

 I'm not familiar with non-LFS/CLFS distros - what toolchain are you
building from, and are any of the regular tools (bison, find, sed are
those that come to mind) very old ?  Which version of bash is on the
host ? [ bash --version ]  Since at least bash-3.1, various important
fixes have emerged after the release.
