Hi,
After much experimentation and reading around I have ended up back with the
same problem I had originally, so I am replying to your queries regarding my
original problem, which is that I can't compile binutils-2.2.7.
Thanks so much for your help. I hope I have emailed this to the right people, I
am reading up on mailing list etiquette too!
Thanks again,
Aaron

g"The error in config.log should be after the line:

The 'checking for compiler version' line occurs twice in my config.log. First
time I assume is fine:
configure:4377: checking for C compiler version
configure:4386: gcc --version >&5
gcc (Debian 5.3.1-13) 5.3.1 20160323
Second time the checking for ompiler version occurs is where I guess the
problem is:
configure:4417: checking for C compiler default output file name
configure:4439: gcc conftest.c >&5
gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory
configure:4443: $? = 1
configure:4480: result:
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h */
| #define PACKAGE_NAME ""
| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME ""
| #define PACKAGE_VERSION ""
| #define PACKAGE_STRING ""

| #define PACKAGE_URL ""
| /* end confdefs.h. */
Thanos/Bruce posted similar:
"Also, do this test:

Here is what happened at this point:

In chapter 6 of LFS, we have
"--disable-multilib"
specified in the configure instructions. What will happen if I don't include
that? I have some programs that I want to run which are 32 bit, and require 32
bit libs.

I had the same issue using version 7.9 with my University Linux class. I had
them roll back to version 7.8 and no issues.My 2 cents.

Hi everyone,
Have run into difficulty trying to install binutils at the start of LFS chapter
5. I spent the last two days slowly re-reading up to chapter five, googling
around, and correcting any mistakes I found, but to no avail. I found plenty
online close to describing my specific symptoms, but nothing that exactly
addressed it, or enabled me to figure the problem out.
First here is the terminal output where I encounter the problem:

You posted the configure output, not config.log
config.log is created by the configure script,
not redirecting it's output.
The error in config.log should be after the line:
checking for C compiler default output file name
Copy and paste that part.
Also, do this test:
$ cat > test.c << "EOF"
int
main ()
{
;
return 0;
}
EOF
$ gcc test.c
You should have an a.out executable.
$ ./a.out
$ echo $?
This should output 0

What does this give you on the host?
$ cat > hello.c << EOF
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello World\n");
return 0;
}
EOF
$ gcc -o hello hello.c
$ ./hello

AFAIK omitting this is needed to build a multilib compiler,
but it's not enough. It needs more to achieve this. Try Google.

I don't think you can do multilib in LFS. You need to use CLFS.

This is what I meant saying "it needs more to achieve this".
Not sure about CLFS. Sometime ago Armin's instructions on
https://github.com/elkrejzi
worked for me. I don't know if they still do.
