Dear List, I've been having trouble with my internet connexion, which explains (a) why I am later returning to this issue than I hoped, and (b) why I've only built a raw 2.6.26 rather than a later variant. But build it I have, with no special problems - at least, not with glibc. I find that the 2.6.26 series has (finally) broken the frandom kernel patch... ah, well.
I should explain something I was taking excessively too much for granted, namely that I was using the then LFS patch for dealing with the glibc problem! I took a copy when it was called http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/glibc/glibc-2.7-roland_config-1.patch It's now http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/glibc/glibc-2.7-gcc-4.3.patch This is functionally the same patch, except that it only patches 'configure', not 'configure.in' as well. Personally I find the omission annoying (what if I want to make my own changes too?) but there it is. Apart from that, the only "dangerous bend" is that you must *have* the fixincludes directory (ignoring the LFS instructions for GCC-4.2.x), which is where I came in.
