I've run into a problem in building Version 20200101-systemd Section 6.9. Glibc-2.30.
After several repetitions of compiling, I've found that if I run "make check", the various localedef invocations that follow, like "localedef -i cs_CZ -f UTF-8 cs_CZ.UTF-8", sometimes fail with a message like "cannot create temporary file: /tools/lib/locale/locale-archive.J6uC5g: No such file or directory". However, if I skip "make check", all of the "localedef" commands run ok. After some investigation I found the following: The behavior is partly repeatable, in the sense that in doing about half a dozen builds, sometimes the problem appeared and sometimes not. I could see no pattern to the failures and successes. The final time I ran "make check", all of the "localedef ..." commands succeeded. So I've proceeded with the rest of Section 6 to nearly the end. Before doing all builds again, I wiped the hard drive and started from scratch, installing everything in the LFS book up through Section 6.9. A few details: After all the runs of "make check", whether "localedef ..." succeeded or not, /tools/lib exists but /tools/lib/locale does not exist. So the question is: why is "localedef" sometimes looking for a non-existent directory? At this point everything seems to be running properly, and I've begun installing BLFS software.
