However you do still have the source and build dirs for GCC and Binutils there, and that will cause problems later.
Yes, you do use separate build dirs, but you cannot assume that means that you can just keep the same source dirs. For example, in GCC Pass 2 the sources are modified, which will cause errors if you reused that source in Chapter 6. Also, Glibc does if fact write to the source dir even if you have a separate build dir. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
