Now we are using --prefix=/usr in "Ch. 6 Cross Compiling Temporary

problem is that configure scripts (generated by autoconf) will try

things are
really "powerful" - they can even override some command line
options.
"/usr/etc" should not exist on any FHS-compilant distro, but
"/usr/share/config.site" exists on many distros.
My suggestion is to add `export CONFIG_SITE=/dev/null` in
/home/lfs/.bashrc. It
would override the default config.site search rule.
I don't know that we have ${prefix}/etc/config.site. I do not. I
do
have /usr/etc/xdg/autostart/xfce4-notifyd.desktop that was installed
yesterday when I updated xfce4-notifyd.
We probably need to specify --sysconfdir=/etc for that.
As an example, fedora has /usr/share/config.site in the autoconf
package. This one is smart and is skipped in case of cross compilation,
but just in case, I second Xi Ruoyao's proposal. Or even to have
CONFIG_SITE=$LFS/usr/share/config.site
We might then create a config.site for our own use, for example with
prefix=/usr
sysconfdir=/etc
localestatedir=/var
sharedstatedir=/var
That would prevent the need to have those in the configure commands...
It would hide those entries. I'd rather be specific in the book.
