Re: [lfs-support] Step 6.9: error: missing __attribute__ ((constructor)) support
I'm afraid your problem is just a stupid typo somewhere in either glibc, binutils or gcc, either in chapter 5 or 6. Tim, you're right. I must have overlooked something. I was able to build Glibc in the second step now. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.

Re: [lfs-support] Step 6.9: error: missing __attribute__ ((constructor)) support
you seem to be misreading what the book says. The current stable book is 8.1, and the following specific minimum versions are mentioned: gcc-4.7 (you imply versions > 4.4.1 are not tested) glibc-2.11. As Pierre said, gcc-7.3.0 did not exist when 8.1 was released. In practice it should be fine for building 8.1 And glibc-2.26 is the highest version which had been tested, so it is explicitly OK. In other words, the versions you have mentioned are fine. We also say "Earlier versions of the listed software packages may work, but have not been tested." The things which commonly break a build are: /bin/sh not pointing to bash. host systems without bison (i.e. with a different yacc). mawk instead of gawk. missing packages from the list of requirements. I probably have to somehow first bild an old version of gcc and glibc before I can even think about trying to create my own LFS. No, building an older version of gcc is a recipe for pain - you can probably go back one or two versions, but sooner or later the current version will not understand the older source, particularly in g++). ĸen Ken, thanks for the clarificatino. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
