I don't fully understand the build method for LFS.
I know the general idea is to first create a working minimal system
inside of ${LFS}/tools, chroot into ${LFS}, then use the programs inside
of /tools for building the final system.
What I can't understand is:
1) Why editing gcc specs file instead of adding
-Wl,--dynamic-linker,/tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2? It seems to me an
equivalent but more elegant way of accomplishing the same thing, that is
making sure everything you install in /tools get not linked to the
host's dynamic linker but to the dynamic linker inside of /tools.
2) Why two passes for gcc and binutils in chapter 5? I think one pass
should be enough, just after glibc installation.
3) Why playing with ld, ld-new and ld-old? I can't get it.
I'm aware the book explains everything, but I think I need different
words in order to understand.
Thanks.
