I can retry this on other x86 architectures, and also AMD64 to see if this has any relevance. Do you know if there is anything I should look out for when building binutils prior to this stage? I guess there's not a lot to be gained from running tests, but if you think that might help I'll follow your advice. regards, Mr Nobby. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
