I believe that once you get binutils-pass1 and gcc-pass1 built, the rest should be robust enough to work fine. Of course, since it's your first time, you might hit another speed bump or two, but you're past the difficult part. > I guess your problem with including workarounds is that you would need > so many host specific & given that so far even I seem to be OK with > the book it might just confuse us novices more.

Basically, every time Fedora releases a new version, they build and enable the most bleeding edge toolchain possible. Only a few daring people here can keep up with that kind of pace. And the stable LFS build is almost certainly behind the times. Greg at DIY came up with this workaround (AFAIK). It seems to work be correct, if making the commands a little uglier. One other possible solution is to build the old *-compat-* toolchain packages for Fedora, but that would probably be even uglier in the end to explain how to enable it. > All very much appreciated. You're welcome. I envy you heading out on your first build. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
