I'm building a LFS system with binutils version 2.16 and gcc version 4.2.4
and I've just found out that applying the
'/\*startfile_prefix_spec:/{n;s...@.*@/usr/lib/ @}' sed script to
/tools/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.4/specs (as per the instruction in the
re-adjustment phase, section 6.10) prevents ld from finding the stdc++
library (which is located in "/tools/lib"). As a result, C++ programs fail
to link when I try to compile them with g++. In contrast, they do link when
I compile them with gcc. However, I need to compile them with g++ because
next I want to install GMP and it checks for a C++ compiler by trying to
compile a sample C++ program with g++ rather than with gcc. Thus, GMP fails
to configure.
I also found that "reverting" the changes from the above-mentioned sed
script or substituting "/usr/lib/ /tools/lib/" instead of just "/usr/lib/ "
both help. However, none of these steps is in the LFS book and I wonder if
I have gone wrong somewhere or I just need a more recent version of binutils
or of gcc. Or could it be something else?
Regards,
Angel Tsankov
