No, PPC has generally been very slow to build things and I'm somewhat surprised that a 601 still works (think of something perhaps of the age of a 486sx in intel terms). Maybe apple's build quality was higher in those days than for the "G3" and "G4" machines I've had (which were/are at least 10x faster but still horribly slow). 30 hours seems very likely - each new version of gcc compiles slower than the previous one. Pol, I applaud your efforts, and your patience, but there is nothing useful that I can suggest. I don't recall *why* the particular version of glibc in the host requirements was introduced, and I suspect the references to undefined symbols might have been from an error in your build, but I can't seriously recommend you to try again on that hardware (the chroot build of gcc will take somewhat longer, if you get that far). For productive development (and building on oldworld counts as development) you need to be able to think about building everything several times until you hopefully get it all working. Apart from anything else, you'll be totally on your own for the boot loader. ĸen -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
