Dear List,
I've been having trouble with my internet connexion,
which explains (a) why I am later returning to this issue than I
hoped, and (b) why I've only built a raw 2.6.26 rather than
a later variant. But build it I have, with no special problems - at
least, not with glibc. I find that the 2.6.26 series has (finally)
broken the frandom kernel patch... ah, well.
I should explain something I was taking excessively too much for
granted, namely that I was using the then LFS patch for dealing
with the glibc problem! I took a copy when it was called
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/glibc/glibc-2.7-roland_config-1.patch
It's now
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/glibc/glibc-2.7-gcc-4.3.patch
This is functionally the same patch, except that it only patches 'configure',
not 'configure.in' as well.
Personally I find the omission annoying (what if I want to make my own
changes too?) but there it is. Apart from that, the only "dangerous bend"
is that you must *have* the fixincludes directory (ignoring the
LFS instructions for GCC-4.2.x), which is where I came in.
Bernard Leak.
