After finishing lfs install i must say the lfs is the best linux/GNU yet!
However i would be thankful if someone could clarify this:
would it be possible to skip to chapter 6 when installing glibc in 5
chapter, meaning installing glibc directly as production system in
/usr (thus saving time and skipping the step of creating the minimal
system first). Off course after first pass of binutils
using:
# make -C ld clean
# make -C ld LIB_PATH=/usr/lib !!!!
# cp -v ld/ld-new /tools/bin
so the second pass(and last) of binutils and gcc would be linked against
/usr/lib (glibc) and with ld-new after :
# mv -v /tools/bin/{ld,ld-old}
# mv -v /tools/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/bin/{ld,ld-old}
# mv -v /tools/bin/{ld-new,ld}
# ln -sv /tools/bin/ld /tools/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/bin/ld
and installed immediately in /usr with prefix switch.
I understand a lot of things would have to be adapted, but just wanted
to know if there is any design FLAW in building like that.
p.s. i hope you understand the question and
thank you
