I just completed a build from LFS Version SVN-20100109. I to tinker a little to get it working, but that is to be expected with a development build.
My host system is a Live Disk 6.3 - jhalfs build. When I tried to apply gcc-4.4.2-startfiles_fix-1.patch to the freshly unpacked gcc-4.4.2 per intructions in chapter 5, the patched failed to apply. I tried the compile anyway and it failed as expected. I looked at the patch and found the relevent section in gcc.c and inserted the hunk manually and then did a diff between my edited code and a freshly unpacked source and the diff was the same except for the line numbers. The line numbers on my patch are: @@ -6467,6 +6467,11 @@ The line numbers the book patch are: @@ -6370,6 +6370,11 @@ I tried the same thing with gcc-4.4.1 from the stable book using gcc-4.4.1-startfiles_fix-1.patch and had the same result. They appear to be the same patch. I used the search engine on the LFS website and perused the mailing list archives manually , but didn't find anything matching my circumstances. My install seems to be working fine. I have compiled a few of my favorites and gcc works fine. The testing in the final phase of the gcc install was consistent with the references. I am curious as to why this patch failed for me and seems to work for others. Perhaps I wasn't persistent enough in my search or overlooked something.
