Hi,
Just finished LFS 8.1 systemd stable version. I noticed 4 dangling
symlinks pointing to the /tools directory :
/usr/lib/{libuuid.a,libmount.a,libblkid.a,liblzma.a} -> /tools/lib/
These links should also be removed in section 6.72 «Cleaning up» of the
book.
This may break some builds in BLFS. For instance Serf-1.3.9 does not
build if the broken link libblkid.a is present (there was a thread in
blfs-dev about that in september).
Best regards.

I can confirm that serf did not build for me either without the static
libraries.
I have a comment in my build script (16th Sept) stating that serf will not
build without static libs from util-linux. This was my Gnome 3.26.0 build.
Prior to this point, serf didn't need those static libs.
As to the thread in blfs-dev, Christoph mentioned that he rebuild util-linux
with --disable-static, and then rebuilt serf-1.3.9 with no complaints.
A rebuild of util-linux would not have removed the previously build static
libs?
On a similar note, I also build static libs for popt as efivar (not in BLFS
book)
requires these.
So the question is, was the serf build issue due to the dangling symlinks bits
or does it really require the static libs?
I built serf-1.3.9 a week ago without complaint. I do not have the .a
files referenced above.
They should never have been installed in /usr/lib. How did they get
there? We pass --disable-static in the build instructions for util-linux,
e2fsprogs, and xz, which are th eonly places that referece those libraries.

They come from the '6.6. Creating Essential Files and Symlinks' 8.1-systemd
version.
for lib in blkid lzma mount uuid
do
ln -sv /tools/lib/lib$lib.{a,so*} /usr/lib
sed 's/tools/usr/' /tools/lib/lib${lib}.la > /usr/lib/lib${lib}.la
done
It's not present in the Sysvinit version.
Hmm, we should probably only be symlinking the so files then. That said,
I've no issue building serf with the symlinks removed.
