I used 6.1.1  that has the patch.  (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter05/binutils-pass1.html)  This patched 2 files I think, I'm at work away from the machine so I can't check for sure until later.

The normal make works fine and ld does compile and install.  It's the secondary compile with LIB_PATH that breaks.

Thinking about this, that would seem a tad bit strange to me but I read ahead the note ( http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter05/adjusting.html) and fiqured I could skip past this for now.  I already know FC4 is quirky so I figured once I got a good tool chain I would be save.

The error repeats itself with the GCC compile which kinda of blows the theory of getting of good tools out of the water. 

I'll be happy to try and debug.  The other option I was thinking of was to go ahead and bring bintools and gcc up to development.  I'm not sure how likely that is to break evrything else though.

Erm. Didn't we fix this issue for 6.1.1? (Of course development should
be fine, too). We now patch binutils:

"If you are building from a host running Gcc-4 or later, it is necessary
to patch the first build of this version of Binutils so that it can be
compiled by the host system."

Of course that's not true for 6.1, but since as of yesterday, stable is
6.1.1, FC4 *should* be suitable as a host.
