The following is my own opinion. 1. Anything "precompiled" breaks the whole idea behind Linux From Scratch. 2. Toolchain compiled on another host may even be not runnable because of dependencies on toolchain builder's host system. Anyway these dependencies should be avoided. In other words, you cannot just take somebody else's temporary toolchain and use it. You should at least make sure it's compiled in an environment similar to your one. I prefer to spend some time in "recompiling over and over again" rather then be constantly afraid of the toolchain being "incompatible" with my environment (especially host glibc, gcc, binutils, kernel-headers). I think that's why the book says to use temporary toolchain for building the resulting system rather than to use the host system for this purpose. -- Nothing but perfection pv -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
