True. But it's not accurate in the context I described. If it's to stay it should at least be clarified. ie: enhanced to explain why only the pass1's of Binutils and GCC are given `--disable-nls'. >> It's a hangover from the days when the Pass1's of Binutils and GCC were >> statically linked.

(Of course, that is if my memory isn't too fuzzy.) Huh? Are you saying that if Binutils-pass1 was built with NLS then the Glibc build would fail because of a missing Gettext? That makes no sense whatsoever (to me at least). Glibc definitely does not require Gettext. Feel free to clarify the details.. fuzzy memory permitting :-) Regards Greg -- http://www.diy-linux.org/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
