I removed the little content of the "tools" directory and then it worked
again.
If you're starting again from the beginning, you should _definitely_ be
starting
with a clean /tools dir!!! Once you can get it working and you return to
scripting it, begin your script with the cleanup, i.e. something like
rm -rf $LFS/tools
mkdir $LFS/tools
Actually you should be cleaning the _entire_ contents of $LFS, not just
tools.
If it's a separate partition as recommended, you may consider simply
reformatting the partition with mke2fs (or whichever fs you use).
The whole point of ch 5, and the foundation of the LFS approach is to create
_clean_ toolchain with known versions, over which you have full control, and
which is as isolated (read unpolluted!) as possible from the quirks of the
host system you use. As stated in the Toolchain Technical Notes:
"The overall goal of Chapter 5 is to provide a temporary environment ...
from which can be produced a clean, trouble-free build of the target LFS
system in Chapter 6. Along the way, we separate the new system from the
host system as much as possible, and in doing so, build a self-contained
and self-hosted toolchain."
You definitely will not successfully achieve that by mixing your new build
with leftovers of last month's failed build! I should also emphasise what
is said in the book about using versions that are tested and known to
work together. LFS 6.1.1 used GCC 3.4.3 and LFS 6.2 uses GCC 4.0.3.
So if you had 4.0.1 in your previous attempt, you were either following
the development version of the time, or using the wrong package
versions with the stable version--either way, asking for trouble.
Please do yourself (and others) a favour and follow a stable version of
LFS with the correct package versions. Once you've got that working,
then it's time to make sure the successful build is consistently repeatable
with your scripts and at that point you have a perfect setup to experiment
with different package versions or other deviations from the book.
But only then....
