-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I was building a new LFS (using jhalfs; SVN version), using a (very old) LFS 6.3 as a host. I know, I should have read the host requirements list first; 6.3 just contains too many unsupported old versions. That is not the point. ;-) I was able to build through Chapter 5 without any problems, but when building glibc in Chapter 6, configure failed because the required kernel version is 2.6.22.5, and I was using an older kernel. In the temporary tools in chapter 5, the required version is 2.6.18, which did not cause me any problems. After letting the system run overnight (I am using a slow 1GHz VIA C7 computer), I woke up next morning with the mentioned error. Wouldn't it make sense to have the same 2.6.22.5 requirement for glibc in both chapter 5 and 6? Or is there a reason why chapter 5 admits an older kernel? As an aside, for the jhalfs developers (is this the right list for that?), the version checks at the beginning did not complain about the too old kernel or gcc (3.4.3); and listed all of them as OK. But maybe this is a desired behaviour; after all, the user is responsible to know and check the host system compatibility (which I did not do :-$) Keep up the good work!
