thanks everyone. I got to the same problem that i was at before
though. I did work in the sources directory. I got to GLibC and it ran
for about 45 minutes and then it threw this error at me: make: *** [all]
Error 2
It just came out of the /mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-2.11.1 directory. which
is where the tarball is extracted. I am wondering if it is because i
have a bad version of binutils. i have 2.20.1 and it says that that
version has not been tested. I have saved the entire build log as far
as the console will remember so that if anyone wants more info i can
give it to them. my host system is a brand new ubuntu desktop 10.04
system and i updated it yesterday.
