My point was that we need to check building with the oldest host system requirements once in a while. The most likely problems that would come up would be glibc or gcc. I'm doing a test build in a virtual system with the older tools now. A modern LiveCD with current packages would be the most relevant to most users. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
