Sorry to reply to my own post, but I misstated something and have an additional question. First, I typed Binutils when I should have typed Glibc in my question #2 above. But, more importantly, how do I get around this issue to build a new LFS using this tainted host? 1. Rebuild GLibc on the LFS-6.0 host (chroot using the original LFS-6.0 source tarball, I guess). 2. Use a Live-CD (yech, not my cup of tea, done it once on a machine with a blank hard disk. I would prefer to use a partition that has my stuff on it) 3. Some quick and easy fix that I don't know about. Thanks for any help anyone may offer on this. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 18:36:00 up 5 days, 4:40, 3 users, load average: 0.51, 0.20, 0.09 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
