In addition to what Bruce and others said: - avoid the pdf version for copy/paste, it sometimes insert spaces at the end of the lines, which defeats the backslash line continuation character. This leads to weird errors not always easy to diagnose. - in any case, be very careful with backslash line continuation characters. One common error I've seen on -support is people believing that settings of CC, AR, etc in -pass2 pages come as a commands by themselves, instead of being part of the configure command - commands for gcc-passx are somewhat complicated. Try to analyze them and _really_ check that the intended commands are applied - it's very easy to skip a line or a character when doing copy/paste. Always double check what is written on screen. If anything goes wrong, erase the build directory(ies) and extract the tarball again - refrain from using jhalfs, at least for the first few times when doing lfs, but it's a good exercise to write scripts for part or all of the build. - very frequent error: not setting LFS as root, or not su to user lfs after logging out and logging in. > > 2.
