Remember, the main goal of the toolchain is to isolate the build from the host system. Glibc *is* the C lib, and shouldn't be able to depend on itself or on a different version of itself. I'd be surprised if minor changes to glibc had a significant impact on gcc output. Besides, I would expect glibc 2.x versions to be API-compatible (completely or mostly). If you are really concerned or find things you don't like, you'll certainly rebuild from scratch anyway (a PITA, to be sure). A purist would give up and start from scratch straight away. If you are mildly concerned, you can build the final glibc, make the final toolchain adjustment, then build glibc again. Then proceed with zlib, binutils, etc. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
