At the risk of severely upsetting anyone who doesn't think ppc belongs in LFS ... I'm _dubious_ about using patch-2.5.4 on ppc without -D_GNU_SOURCE. However, preliminary testing (use my local "LFS-6.3-on-ppc" system, build 2.5.4 there, see if all the patches I know I will be using up to the first parts of my desktop, plus a big gcc-svn gnu diff, *claim* to apply) has not found a problem, so I'll start the build tomorrow. The original bugzilla entry is preserved as http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/242 but sadly without any details of exactly how it breaks. On clfs we've been able to drop it because the alpha version of patch used there does the define in the configure script if it isn't already defined. I see no reason to use an alpha version of patch in LFS, but it's possible that building patch on ppc without reinstating this define may break something. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
