When using an LFS-6.0 host, with stripped binaries, the last step in the chapter 5 Binutils instructions (rebuilding the ld subdirectory) in the current SVN book will fail.
This is a known issue.
Two things:
1. Shouldn't this be explained in BIG BOLD text somewhere in the prerequisites? With some kind of check so that folks can find out before they start they have a host that won't build Binutils?
2. Is there a fix for this, short of rebuilding Binutils on the host before starting an SVN build? (patch or something to apply to the 2.15.94.0.2.2 tree so that it will build on the tainted host)
Why is stripping the host binaries the issue?
My Febuary 22, 2005 rebuild of Gentoo 2004.3-unstable had absolutely no issues with any of the LFS-BOOK-SVN-20050228-HTML chapter 5 packages except flex, it would not compile so I am using flex-2.5.4a.
the host toolchain is
GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4
GNU CC version 3.4.3-20050110 (Gentoo Linux 3.4.3.20050110, ssp-3.4.3.20050110-0, pie-8.7.7)
binutils GNU ld version 2.15.92.0.2 20040927
