I think what he meant was that the removal of the dummy.c file and its fellows is spurious considering that, depending on how you look at it, they are produced inside the gcc-build dir. But again, since the book doesn't tell you when to remove the build and source dirs, it's a matter of perspective as to where those dummy files will exist. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
