You confused me there for a moment. We usually refer to x86_64, but the weird alternative I was thinking about (and which gentoo has/had patches for) is x32 so you ought to be good to go. > > The source all passed md5sum, the include files are in order, and quite a bit > of stuff compiles without issue before it even gets to gcc itself -- which > somehow, it and it alone is incapable of finding files that are exactly where > they are meant to be! > > I'm *very* confused about this.

Shorter is usually better. The only thing I find odd is that you say quite a bit compiles before it even gets to gcc itself. Do you mean you had to build extra gentoo packages to get enough to build LFS ? Your original post referred to pass 1 gcc, and the only package before that in LFS is pass 1 binutils. For patches, in 8.0 we do not patch either binutils or gcc. More generally, any configure script written in FSF-style will test for a LOT of things, even if it turns out not to need them. The following all test for sys/stat.h - can you try configuring ONE of them (just ./configure 2>&1 | tee mylog) as user lfs and then look for sys/stat.h in the log ? If that fails, is your lfs user able to read all the directories in /usr/include ? Try doing the same configure as root or your normal gentoo user in the host system, and comparing the results. ĸen -- I live in a city. I know sparrows from starlings.
