Using LiveCD 6.1.1 as host I received the following config error at sec 6.11:

I am not sure where to look next but I do have another question: the configure command command shown in the book is ../glibc-2.3.4/configure --prefix=/usr \ --disable-profile --enable-add-ons \ --enable-kernel=2.6.0 --libexecdir=/usr/lib/glibc but output from the config.log indictes that the following command was used Configured with: ../gcc-3.4.3/configure --prefix=/tools --libexecdir=/tools/lib --with -local-prefix=/tools --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --ena ble-__cxa_atexit --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-libstdcxx-pch Does this indicate an error or does configure modify the command? The build had gone well up to this point with no errors. I followed the book, and dont believe I made any changes or skipped any steps.
