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.

Hi,

There are several configure scripts in the build tree. One is in the top level directory, and others in subdirectories. If you type "ld/configure --help" from the top level directory, you'll see the --with-sysroot option. Options which are not specifically recognized by top level configure are silently passed to subdirectory configures, so you should not be seeing the warning you see... Have you added --enable-option-checking to configure options? Or do you have a config.site file with this option?

Also, check akh's comments.

Regards
Pierre
