It would be useful to add way for the user to check each package for the
software installed in the host system. The following commands will
display the appropriate version.
* bash --version
* binutils
* ld --version
* bzip2 --version
* coreutils
* chown --version
* diff --version
* find --version
* gawk --version
* gcc -- version
* /lib/libc.so.6
* grep --version
* gzip --version
* uname -a and cat /proc/version
* make --version
* patch --version
* sed --version
* tar --version
This could also be put into a simple script to display all the current
versions.
Also on the page:
The reason for the kernel version requirement is that TLS support in
Binutils don't be built and the Native POSIX Threading Library (NPTL) test
suite will segfault if the host's kernel isn't a 2.6 kernel and has not
been compiled with GCC-3.0 or a later version.
s/don't/will not/
Also define TLS. I assume it is Transport Layer Security. I think POSIX
is a generic term and really doesn't need to be defined.
