In the Chapter 5 build of glibc, three configuration tests are bypassed because "The linker installed during Section 5.4... was cross-compiled and as such cannot be used until Glibc has been installed. This means that the configure test... will fail, as it relies on a working linker."
Out of curiosity, I ran ldd on both the static and the dynamic linkers from the first pass binutils build. They are linked to the host glibc (and a few other host libraries as well). Why would they not work? I usually find the explanations in the book very enlightening but this one puzzles me. -- Hazel Russman <[email protected]> -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
