Thanks for the reply. I checked my history and found that, yes, I had
made a silly mistake: I was in binutils-2.26/binutils/build, rather than
binutils-2.26/build, and so was using a different, incorrect configure
script. Sorry about that.

Subject: [lfs-support] Second pass of Binutils: unrecognized configure
options
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
Check re copy'n'paste error(s); if nec copy'n'paste from your
history list (include from a few commands before, to a few after),
into reply. And similarly for your binutils-pass1 .
Are you using html or pdf version of book?
Did you get similar from binutils pass1 ?
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.
