No, building from OSX isn't specifically covered (I'm told that Tiger
broke the OSX ext2 software) - yes, we should be able to build from a
POSIX system, but certainly people have had issues in the past with
old versions of OSX (case-insensitivity, for example). Anyway, you
may want to look at what we do for the bootloader.

Whew... O.k... Guess I should have browsed your site more before
starting this project. I hate to do this to ya, but can I pick your
brain for just a sec? If your not in the mood, don't sweat it.
I'm assuming my current toolchain should still be O.K... I was only
interested in the ppc arch anyway. I used CFLAGS="-mcpu=750 -O2
-fsigned-char" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" for everything up to this point and
will do the same for the rest of the system. I read somewhere that you
HAVE to add -fsigned-char on ppc. Took it with a grain of salt but
everything seems to be going great so far (entire toolchain).

That's the only thing I could find on the web concerning CFLAGS for PPC.
What do you think of the other CFLAGS on that site for the G3?
I noticed you ditched the prefix variable on the patch program for ppc.
Is this something that is going to be removed from the LFS book? Not
sure why CPPFLAGS=-D_GNU_SOURCE is no longer needed in CLFS. Should I
use it for my final 'patch' or no? Any other diff (figuratively and
literally) I should be aware of?
I'm a little confused now on which book I should be following. I still
haven't started yet. I do have a single arch toolchain waiting tho from
LFS so that's what I'm going to use.
Thanks Ken!! I'll try to visually diff the 2 books as I go. I guess
CFLAGS are what I'm really curious about (along with patch). Any insight
would be most welcome.
