I appreciate all the tips [?] I'm very grateful. At this point I've wiped the system and done a clean install of Jessie (8.5), I also did "apt-get build-dep Linux" this time and it adds additional libraries that build-essential doesn't load. I'll add Texinfo and proceed from there over the next couple days and see where that takes me. I've avoided the actual support page in order to keep things casual, as with many errors, I can't overlook the potential of user-error either [?] . I'm creating build scripts that will dump the output into text files at each stage so I can better review them which may answer more questions. This will be necessary before going the support route anyway. As I've already completed LFS twice, I know it can be done and the instructions DO WORK. Excellent work and thanks to all the LFS team.
I'll follow up in a couple days and let u know how things went. Daniel ________________________________ From: lfs-chat <[email protected]> on behalf of Douglas R.

Thats one of the ones I just had to add in. Just got through Glibc on a i686 system with Debian 8.3 "Jessie" as a build host (no internet to update where that PC is located, and limited bandwidth at the moment...) > >Thanks, > >Daniel > > >------------------------------------------------------------------------ > >-- >http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-chat >FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html >Unsubscribe: See the above information page Douglas R.
