Robert, In this old post of yours, below, you said that nothing in HLFS is built statically. But in trying to figure out why the butterfly toolchain build failed, I saw that the error message involves a static libraries - it appears to be trying to build a static libstc++ (if I'm reading it right - I'm not a programmer), using the static libssp_nonshared that was built earlier during the gcc-libssp step.
I'm using the uClibc/kernel 2.6 book from 20080108, with package users. If you need more of the build log, I have it all (one great advantage of the package user system). Here is the command that apparently failed (it's a long one): /usr/src/butterfly/butterfly-build/./gcc/xgcc -shared-libgcc -B/usr/src/butterfly/butterfly-build/./gcc -nostdinc++ -L/usr/src/butterfly/butterfly-build/i686-pc-linux-uclibc/libstdc++-v3/src -L/usr/src/butterfly/butterfly-build/i686-pc-linux-uclibc/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs -B/usr/i686-pc-linux-uclibc/bin/ -B/usr/i686-pc-linux-uclibc/lib/ -isystem /usr/i686-pc-linux-uclibc/include -isystem /usr/i686-pc-linux-uclibc/sys-include -L/usr/src/butterfly/butterfly-build/./ld -shared -nostdlib /usr/lib/gcc/../crti.o /usr/src/butterfly/butterfly-build/./gcc/crtbeginS.o .libs/bitmap_allocator.o .libs/pool_allocator.o .libs/mt_allocator.o .libs/codecvt.o .libs/compatibility.o .libs/complex_io.o .libs/ctype.o .libs/debug.o .libs/debug_list.o .libs/functexcept.o .libs/globals_locale.o .libs/globals_io.o .libs/ios.o .libs/ios_failure.o .libs/ios_init.o .libs/ios_locale.o .libs/limits.o .libs/list.o .libs/locale.o .libs/locale_init.o .libs/locale_facets.o .libs/localename.o .libs/stdexcept.o .libs/strstream.o .libs/tree.o .libs/allocator-inst.o .libs/concept-inst.o .libs/fstream-inst.o .libs/ext-inst.o .libs/ios-inst.o .libs/iostream-inst.o .libs/istream-inst.o .libs/istream.o .libs/locale-inst.o .libs/locale-misc-inst.o .libs/misc-inst.o .libs/ostream-inst.o .libs/sstream-inst.o .libs/streambuf-inst.o .libs/streambuf.o .libs/string-inst.o .libs/valarray-inst.o .libs/wlocale-inst.o .libs/wstring-inst.o .libs/atomicity.o .libs/codecvt_members.o .libs/collate_members.o .libs/ctype_members.o .libs/messages_members.o .libs/monetary_members.o .libs/numeric_members.o .libs/time_members.o .libs/basic_file.o .libs/c++locale.o -Wl,--whole-archive ../libmath/.libs/libmath.a ../libsupc++/.libs/libsupc++convenience.a /usr/lib/libssp_nonshared.a /usr/lib/libssp_nonshared.a /usr/lib/libssp_nonshared.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive -L/usr/src/butterfly/butterfly-build/i686-pc-linux-uclibc/libstdc++-v3/src -L/usr/src/butterfly/butterfly-build/i686-pc-linux-uclibc/libstdc++-v3/src/.l ibs -L/usr/src/butterfly/butterfly-build/./ld -lm ../libmath/.libs/libmath.a -lm ../libsupc++/.libs/libsupc++convenience.a -lm -L/usr/src/butterfly/butterfly-build/./gcc -L/usr/lib/gcc/.. -lgcc_s -lc -lc -lgcc_s -lm /usr/lib/libssp_nonshared.a /usr/lib/libssp.so -lgcc_s /lib/libintl.so -lc -lgcc_s /usr/src/butterfly/butterfly-build/./gcc/crtendS.o /usr/lib/gcc/../crtn.o -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -Wl,--version-script=libstdc++-symbol.ver -Wl,-soname -Wl,libstdc++.so.6 -o .libs/libstdc++.so.6.0.8 And here are the error messages after that: /usr/lib/libssp_nonshared.a(libssp_nonshared_la-ssp-local.o): In function `__stack_chk_fail_local': ../ssp-local.c:48: multiple definition of `__stack_chk_fail_local' /usr/lib/libssp_nonshared.a(libssp_nonshared_la-ssp-local.o):../ssp-local.c:48: first defined here /usr/lib/libssp_nonshared.a(libssp_nonshared_la-ssp-local.o): In function `__stack_chk_fail_local': ../ssp-local.c:48: multiple definition of `__stack_chk_fail_local' /usr/lib/libssp_nonshared.a(libssp_nonshared_la-ssp-local.o):../ssp-local.c:48: first defined here collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/butterfly/butterfly-build/i686-pc-linux-uclibc/libstdc++-v3/src' make[4]: *** [libstdc++.la] Error 1 make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/butterfly/butterfly-build/i686-pc-linux-uclibc/libstdc++-v3' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/butterfly/butterfly-build/i686-pc-linux-uclibc/libstdc++-v3' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/butterfly/butterfly-build' Chris Buxton Professional Services Men & Mice Address: Noatun 17, IS-105, Reykjavik, Iceland Phone: +354 412 1500 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.menandmice.com Men & Mice We bring control and flexibility to network management This e-mail and its attachments may contain confidential and privileged information only intended for the person or entity to which it is addressed.

Now I've reproduced it with a very vanilla uClibc buildroot, so it looks like a bug with uClibc and not a bug with something I'm doing. So I'm not going to try to fix it. I did a bugzilla about it at the uClibc site. I did find a workaround, which is to compile libc.a with no optimization (-O0). Nothing on an hlfs-uclibc system is linked statically, so it doesn't really affect the build. -fstack-protector-all also causes segmentation faults, which may or may not be related to the bug with -static. Libssp seems to work, but there are some frustrating issues with the ssp header installation for default -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE.
