A couple of errors found:
Chapter 6. Cross Compiling Temporary Tools
6.7. File-5.39
Building gives the error:
Cannot use the installed version of file (5.37) to

Please install file 5.39 locally first
..fixed by updating file on the host.
Forcing a exact version of file in Host System Requirements is stupid. We'll
have to install a file for host system in Chap. 5. There is also a FIXME in
file-5.39/magic/Makefile.am:
# FIXME: Build file natively as well so that it can be used to compile
# the target's magic file; for now we bail if the local version does not match
Could someone give upstream a patch for it?
I don't know why this is happening in Chapter 6. On my log I have:
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
It worked fine for me when the host version of file was 5.38.
Chapter 6. Cross Compiling Temporary Tools
6.10. Grep-3.4
Building pulls in a dep on libpcre from the host, which causes problems later,
but can be fixed with "--disable-perl-regexp"
It's because configure script picks up the host pkg-config. Other packages may
have similar issue.
I think we should create a "fake" x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-pkg-config:
ln -sv /bin/false /mnt/lfs/tools/bin/x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-pkg-config
I'll need to check into this a bit more. I do prefer a switch to a symlink.
Also, but probably out of scope,
Chapter 5. Compiling a Cross-Toolchain
5.5. Glibc-2.31
Fails for arm (RPi) with a long double error fixed with an upstream patch:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/glibc-cvs/2020q1/069150.html
Glibc-2.32 will be released soon (the scheduled date is Aug. 1st).
We will wait for Glibc-2.32.
Thanks for the feedback.
