I might do that but I can't claim to understand many of the options for
installing binutils.
I like LFS and I have learned a lot from it, but now I want to know more
about building a Linux system.
I started experimenting today on building a cross compiler for my Athlon
64. I think using --with-sysroot is a good idea, but I don't know yet
if its use should be limited to building a cross compiler.
I did find that --with-sysroot apparently dos not work with binutils,
despite seeing it in tutorials, etc, on line. DESTDIR worked instead.
Now to try --with-sysroot with gcc and glibc. :)
VERSION=2.17
mkdir ../binutils-build &&
cd ../binutils-build &&
../binutils-${VERSION}/configure \
--host=$HOST \
--target=$TARGET \
--prefix=/cross \ # Install in $SYSROOT/cross.
--enable-shared \
--disable-nls \
--enable-64-bit-bfd \
--disable-multilib # Only build a 64-bit system.
make
make install DESTDIR=$SYSROOT
