Incidentally, here are my google results from the LFS archive search engine when searching for coreutils-8.14: 1. 5.18. Coreutils-8.14 2. 6.24. Coreutils-8.14 3. coreutils-8.14-i18n-1.patch - Linux From Scratch 4. coreutils-8.14-test_fix-1.patch - Linux From Scratch 5. [LFS Trac] #2945: Coreutils-8.14 - Linux From Scratch The relevant answer (or at least the one that looks like it ought to apply, based on the errata note): * http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/lfs/development/coreutils-8.14-test_fix-1.patch results in a 404. You're right that I didn't see the errata. You're wrong that I didn't look. I certainly didn't look beyond 5 links, and I'd found the answer already by that point. I'll check the errata next time before sounding warning bells. Is it practical to update the search engine results to give valid links...? * * * Speaking of errata, I've found a couple of packages that break when running the tests in parallel: * gawk * flex Executing the 'make check' with '-j 1' allows the tests to pass. I suppose this would be covered in the somewhat obscure note buried in 4.5 "About SBUs" where it discusses $MAKEFLAGS: "If you run into a problem with a build step, revert back to a single processor build to properly analyze the error messages." But, I'm wondering if, having the more specific information about which packages failed, if it might be useful to include somewhere for the folks that don't like to build all of LFS with '-j 1' and might want the "Gotcha!" in a more relevant place?
