After some time examining the mailing lists for binutils at sourceware.org, I found that the bug has been resolved. After reading that, I've been examining the content of the branch update patch posted in the CLFS repo, and it effectively contains the solution for texinfo problem. Ok, I know LFS doesn't apply patches until a specific bug is hit and needs a fix, but as texinfo-4.11 is a targeted package and the branch update patch seems to solve it (among other enhancements, I suppose but not completely sure...), wouldn't it be a chance for LFS to take a look at that patch? (Maybe the rest of the toolchain updates could be taken a look, also, but for the cited package, in this case texinfo, I think we should give it a chance, IMHO) Regards, Julio -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
