Hello experts, I am attempting my first LFS build; which will (hopefully) be 7.4, built on a host system of slackware-14.
All went well up until chapter 6. I am unsure as to whether or not the errors in the glibc fall into the acceptable variety or not. glibc appeared to build well enough. Having tried the test suites (with TIMEOUTFACTOR=16 - this is a humble machine), the make - k check ends with: AWK='gawk' scripts/check-local-headers.sh \ "/usr/include" "/source/glibc-build/" > /source/glibc-build/check-local-headers.out /usr/bin/perl scripts/begin-end-check.pl argp/argp.h assert/assert.h catgets/nl_types.h crypt/crypt.h ctype/ctype.h debug/execinfo.h dirent/dirent.h

make[2]: [/source/glibc-build/conform/run-conformtest.out] Error 1 (ignored) make[1]: Target `check' not remade because of errors. make: *** [check] Error 2 I have inferred from the book that 'cputimer1' and 'run-conformtest' might be 'acceptable' failures, but I was surprised that the test suite ended mid-way. Have I done something stupid? Are these acceptable errors and I am worrying needlessly? Is there something more subtle that I should look for? Any advice would be welcome. I am also assuming that glibc is one of the packages that can safely be installed to a fake root - then tarballed 'slackware style'? (i.e: I am intending that my next step would be make DESTDIR=dest install), rather then installing directly.
