Hi,

Linux From Scratch - Version
7.0-cross-lfs-20050902-x86_64-Multilib
Host Distribution - Slackware 10.1 with
kernel-2.6.13-x86_64
Section - 10.3. Glibc-2.3.5 32 Bit Libraries

Configuring Glibc causes the following error:
configure: error: compiler support for __thread is
required


I'm sorry to have to tell you this isn't fixed yet (or if it is, I haven't caught). If you use irc, you could ask about current progress on #cross-lfs.

This is a gcc4 problem. The builds with gcc-3.4 worked (but the specfiles are manipulated by different instructions from what is now in the book). Jim was looking at building the cross and target glibc with linuxthreads to work around this, and other alternatives were being investigated.

FWIW, this part of x86_64-64 works, but the installation instructions for glibc need some attention (I will do that after I've got the test instructions for glibc upgraded to gcc4).

Best advice at the moment is either to take part in the testing on #cross-lfs, or to take a breather.
