I'ts been a while since I've used LFS for anything, but I've got an AMD ELAN SC520 based embedded board and a VIA C3 Esther based MiniITX board. It's becoming a bit difficult to find a distro that has what I want that will run on this hardware so I was trying to use CLFS. I tried both 1.2 and 2.0 using the online books, because atleast for 2.0 When I tries to build the book I could not find any output. My build system is x86_64 Mint 15 (Ubuntu 13.04 based). I ran into a number of problems and eventually gave up. The first is that the URL's given for the packages and patches seem to be out of date, though I was able to find everything. The second is that when I tried to use the install command with the ${CLFS} variable the command failed. What stopped me cold was trying the extract the header files from Linux (output below). I'm going to go back to LFS which I had better luck with and try to pick up the parts from CFLS that I need to cross build.
