Hi,
Glibc-2.8-20080929 is no longer available on the Red Hat server mentioned in
the LFS book,
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/glibc/snapshots/glibc-2.8-20080929.tar.bz2.
Should this be added to the errata, with an alternate location provided? I'm a
little surprised that LFS 6.4 is using a CVS snapshot of glibc, but I'm sure
there was a good reason for it.
The package I got was from the mirror at Oregon State University which hadn't
been updated yet (it's gone now). I'm having a problem compiling it, so it is
possible that I don't have the right one. I saw that someone else recently had
a problem with it, but mine is different. It's complaining that it's missing
the gcc_eh library. The details of my problem are below.
LFS version 6.4, section 5.7

I grepped this directory as well as that of gcc-build and gcc-4.3.2 for
"gcc_eh". There is no trace of it in the gcc directories. It's mentioned in
several places in the glibc directories, including the ChangeLog which says
that the dependency was added a few years ago.
Can anyone help with this?
Thank you,
Bill
