The only program in Chapter 5 that needs GMP, MPC, and MPFR is gcc and having gcc build them is easier than three additional sections. In Chapter 6 they are separate so other programs can use them if desired. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
