I upgraded the whole of LFS. The phrase "I upgraded all three packages at once in a single rebuild" could also be read as "I upgraded *only* binutils, gcc, and glibc on an existing system" which in my opinion is never a sensible way forward on an LFS-derived system. For most of us, if our base system (LFS, clfs, paldo, DIY, whatever) has gone past it's "best before" date, it is time to build a new system using either a current development version, or the last stable version. If you are a developer and need to try new versions of gcc you can put them in /opt or /usr/local if you have to (although that only really makes sense if your current system uses gcc-4.3 and you want to test 4.4). If you have a special need to support an old version of gcc, keep an old system just for that. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
