My point is "don't continue blindly if any problem occurs".  Building LFS is
like building a house.  If a brick has some deficiency and we just stack other
bricks onto it blindly, the house will collapse.

OTOH "don't blindly follow online posts" is also correct.  LFS is different from
normal building procedure and many online posts are based on earlier version of
LFS (like 6.x or 5.x) which are outdated.  And, some posters are irresponsible
and often post some stupidly wrong information, just misleading others.

If you deviate from the book, you should know what you are doing.  Missing
$LFS_TGT-gcc is absolutely incorrect.  Using dash instead of bash is likely
incorrect （though we didn't tried, recently).  --with-glibc-version=2.30
(instead of 2.11) is likely correct.

So, your summary is thus:

Fix where /bin/sh points
Don't deviate at all from the book
Don't blindly follow online posts


That's pretty much right.  I will add to the second item "for the first 
time through".  Sometimes new users can have the attitude "I'm 
experienced and I know enough to change what is in the book."  But that 
can get users into trouble,



Also, I'm a girl, and we're not a company. We just like doing this stuff.


I'm not sure about the "I'm a girl" comment, but the rest is certainly 
true.  LFS is made up of all volunteers and no one is paid for their 
work on LFS.  Actually it costs us to buy our own systems and pay for 
web hosting. Think of it as as our contribution to the open source 
community.


LFS is dedicated to learning and teaching users how a distro really 
works.  The fact that some have used it as a basis for creating custom 
systems that are used in operational environments is a nice perk.

We shouldn't continue blindly if any error is encountered.  Without 
$LFS_TGT-gcc 
glibc would be built with host GCC.  That does not make any sense (in LFS).

Sorry Sir, I am new to this posting thing in forums.

please guide me to proper channel for understanding forum working.


>> Anyway, I noticed an oddity in that output, the bit about "all warnings
being treated as errors." What command line did you use? And did you follow
everything exactly to this point?

Yes Sir,  I have deviated at one point from book i.e.  while passing flag
to configure script in gcc-9.2.0 1st pass compilation , I have used 2.30
instead of 2.11 for '--with-glibc-version= 'flag

At present I am stuck at make step of glibc2.30 1st pass

Explicitly  preprocessing time.c ... I found that libc_ifunc_hidden() is a
macro defined in libc-symbols.h which will expand as follows---

> # 43 "../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/time.c"
> extern __typeof (time) __libc_time; extern __typeof (time) __libc_time;
__typeof (time) *__libc_time_ifunc (void) __asm__ ("__libc_time");
__attribute__ ((__optimize__ ("-fno-stack-protector"))) __typeof
(time) *__libc_time_ifunc (void) { struct r_found_version linux26 =
prepare_version_base ("LINUX_2.6", 61765110);;; __typeof (time) *res =
(_dl_vdso_vsym ("__vdso_time", ) ?:   &__time_syscall);
return res; } __asm__ (".type " "__libc_time" ", %gnu_indirect_function");
extern __typeof (__libc_time) time __attribute__ ((alias ("__libc_time")))
;;

Here prepare _version_base() is a static inline function defined as follows
---

> static inline struct r_found_version

 prepare_version_base (const char *name, Elf64_Word hash)

> {
> ((void) sizeof ((hash == _dl_elf_hash (name)) ? 1 : 0), __extension__ ({

 __extension__ __PRETTY_FUNCTION__); }));

  ((void *)0)
> # 31 "../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/dl-vdso.h"
>  };
> }

while googling my error(i.e. glibc2.30 1st pass failed)---

One thread recommend use of '-Wno-attribute-alias' ... when using it
glibc2.30 compiled successfully(in a separate sub-directory)...

but testing newly built toolchain against dummy.c(as in glibc2.30 1st pass
article) via `$LFS_TGT-gcc dummy.c`

a new error appears stating expansion of $LFS_TGT-gcc  not found in
$LFS/tools/bin.

Thank you sir
