Hello,

This is my first time going though LFS. On the second pass of Binutils (5.9) (LFS Version 7.9-systemd), I noticed that the following was printed at the end of the output from configure (with options directly pasted from the book):

configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-lib-path, --with-sysroot

I searched the configure script and could find no reference to these options. I used the wget list and the mdsum script when downloading the source for this and all other packages. Perhaps these (apparently not universally necessary?) options are left over from a previous version of Binutils. According to the configure script comments, the LIBS environmental variable would seem to be used in the same way as --with-lib-path. It seems possible that the with-sysroot option could be set instead with LDFLAGS, which is used to pass flags to the linker, but I don't know much about linkers and compilers, so was wondering if someone could shed some light on this.

Thanks,

Alex
