Hello co-listers:

In LFS-8.0 I’ve got 1143 unexpected failures in chapter 6 compilation of 
gcc-6.3.0.

I have experience on LFS (my first versión was 5.1.1).

I have never problems with Chapter 6 compilation of GCC (except the errors 
indicated on LFS book).

Now I’ve done several changes on standard LFS method and I suspect of them.

My host system is an IBM xSeries 306m with LFS 7.9 (32bits without systemd). 
Working without problems like a server LAMP and a Motif Desktop from a year 
aprox. with static /dev devices (without udev).

Now I wanted to migrate to LFS 8.0 (3bits) being the root LFS partition on a 
SSD. In order to maintain the minimum I/O on SSD (/dev/sde on host system) 
during the compilation of LFS:

1.- I made three partitons on SSD: one for LFS 8.0 /boot (/dev/sde1 on host 
system) , one for LFS 8.0 root partition (/dev/sde2 on host system) and the 
third reserved for future LFS version.

2.- All partitions with JFS filesystems (always I’ve worked with JFS without 
problems).

3.- I mounted the partitions

        mount /dev/sde2 /mnt/lfs
        mount /dev/sde1 /mnt/lfs/boot

4.- I created a /sources and /tools on a host system HDD.

5.- I’ve create the symbolic links:

        /mnt/lfs/tools -> /tools (note the reverse symbolic link vs. LFS Book)
        /mnt/lfs/sources -> /sources

6.- Chapter 5 go until the end without problems. All compiling I/O went to the 
host system HDD.

7.- At the beginning of Chapter 6, before chrooting, I did:

        rm /mnt/lfs/tools
        mkdir /mnt/lfs/tools

        mount —bind /dev /mnt/lfs/dev
        mount -vt devpts devpts /mnt/lfs/dev/pts -o gid=5,mode=620
        mount -vt proc proc /mnt/lfs/proc
        mount -vt sysfs sysfs /mnt/lfs/sys
        mount -vt tmpfs tmpfs /mnt/lfs/run
        mount —bind /tools /mnt/lfs/tools
        mount —bind /sources /mnt/lfs/sources
        mount —bind /tmp/mnt/lfs/tmp

8.- I entered on chroot environment without problems. The directories /tools 
and /sources was there.

9.- I compiled chapter 6 packages until mpc-1.0.3 without problems. Only 
glib-2.25 showed an unexpected "io/tst-open-tmpfile” error. I thought it was 
caused by a missing kernel option.

10.- All sanity checks on "6.10. Adjusting the Toolchain” passed OK. 

11.- In chapter 6 gcc-6.3.0 phase “make -k check” generates five “unexpected 
failures” on libstdc++ and ¡1143 unexpected failures! on gcc Summary.

11.- “make -k check” log show 168 distinct tests failed:

        experimental/filesystem/iterators/directory_iterator.cc
        experimental/filesystem/iterators/recursive_directory_iterator.cc
        experimental/filesystem/operations/exists.cc
        experimental/filesystem/operations/is_empty.cc
        experimental/filesystem/operations/temp_directory_path.cc
        gcc.dg/cpp/trad/include.c
        gcc.target/i386/pr65105-2.c
        (plus 161 on gcc.target/i386/mpx)

12.- Host system log shows 118 messages like:

        Mar 6 01:44:31 titan kernel: pr59667.exe[5706]: segfault at 0 ip 
08048580 sp bfca9620 error 6 in pr59667.exe[8048000+1000]
        Mar 6 04:05:18 titan kernel: null-1.exe[15696]: segfault at 0 ip 
0804866e sp bfebe190 error 4 in null-1.exe[8048000+1000]

I suspect on a race condition when I/O goes through "mount —bind”

Is it secure to continue on Chapter 6?

Any idea?

Thanks a lot in advance

J. C.
