I have not been able to search the archives (how do I search the whole archive, rather than one month at a time ?) so this subject might have been addressed befor. Sorry if this is the case.
The gcc-4.1.2 test suite shows as much as 41 unexpected failures in the libmudflap test, when run with LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 (which was set during the LFS build, and seems to work otherwise). All these tests use the -static flag. The same tests run OK with (export LANG=C; make -k check). The reason is that the compiler issues warnings which are unavoidable, explaining that the shared libraries will be used even if linked statically. If the warnings are in English, they are filtered out by the expect-dejagnu machinery. But if they are in French, they remain in the output and trigger the failure. Maybe the book should mention that LANG should be set to C (or any en_XX English locale) for running the test suite.
