I doubt that, considering that note comes only 2 pages before Binutils. I think the problem is that most people just don't read much of the text in the first place, and simply skip ahead to running the commands. > All of that said, I agree that you will have those dingleberries that > just jump in and want to start issuing commands without reading the > instructions. On occasion, I've seen users who have read as far as the "Toolchain Technical Notes" and started building binutils based on their "best guess" from what's in that page, without even noticing that the very next page is where the specific instruction for binutils are. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
