I guess you have made some decision yourself by now; I was watching for posts on this thread as I have a similar situation . I didn't have the math failures but I did have the testgrp failure that I didn't recall from previous builds. Later I had a segfault in the gcc tests. It didn't show in the test logs but did on the console and in the host syslog. This may have happened on previous builds , but gone unnoticed. I had 19 errors on the gcc testing and after booting the new system,recompiling and testing gcc it dropped to 13 lidmudflap errors. This makes me doubt the veracity of the testing on the the chroot'ed system for making decisions about the soundness of the build. I didn't redo glib, however. Since I was building with a LFS-6.7 host and doing a SVN build with jhalfs, none of this is probably germane to your situation.I think that probably the best test is that if the installed system performs adequately for your uses. --- Mike Hollis --- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
