Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm not even close yet. All of my knowledge about the toolchain is entirely empirical, i.e. What happens if I do this? I would like to have this knowledge, and hopefully down the road I will. But you're right that I care about LFS. AFAICT, the only people around here who have the required intimate knowledge of the toolchain are Ryan and Greg. Unless 1. I'm forgetting about somebody or 2. Greg is invited back to LFS :) then Ryan's guidance is needed right about now. If anyone knows how to get in touch with him, I'd appreciate if they would. My efforts have failed, and I don't use IRC. Before anyone announces that they have the required skills to handle the toolchain, consider this nugget from Ryan about gcc *startfile_prefix_spec that I stumbled upon the other night when trying to figure out where the wrapper script changes came from. >From http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~ircd/logs/cross-lfs-2006-01-26: 08:41 <@mdh> that tels it were to look for the required startfiles, ie crti.o crtn.o 08:42 <@mdh> they sit were the c-libraries are 08:42 <@quadrata> so, once you find the start files, gcc automatically includes that location for other libs? 08:42 <@mdh> and will always make gcc point to where the c-libraries are even when multilib 08:43 <@mdh> it automatically adds it in as -L/${startfile_prefix_spec} or L/${startfile_prefix_spec}/../lib64 Did you know that last part? I didn't. By the way, the behavior on #cross-lfs is not so hot. If I'm going to be slandered as someone's lacky, I'd appreciate if it was done to my face. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
