You are looking at the wrong chapter! We use it in chapter 5. Please read the patch, including the description.

It is specific to how we build LFS in chroot, the new system doesn need this workaround. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
