For git, it looks like a make bug. Trying to build firefox blew up near the beginning with ../config/nsinstall: cannot access system_wrappers: No such file or directory Google found http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48045 which was closed as a duplicate of http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47995 where trying to build git in parallel was mentioned. I've now applied the fix and rebuilt git with -j8, firefox (46.0 for me - I'm reluctant to use .x versions if the reason is unclear) is now building. Whether firefox will work is another matter. I'll give e2fsprogs another try later - if that is sorted, it implies the patch [1] will also be needed in chapter 5. LOL - I worried about make-4.0 and built everything (ISTR one package had a problem), but I assumed 4.2 was just a minor improvement. 1. http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/patch/?id=4762480ae9cb8df4878286411f178d32db14eff0 ĸen (this is almost more fun than documenting fonts, but I'm not sure I can spare the time :) -- I had to walk fifteen miles to school, barefoot in the snow.
