Hi, Thanks for the reply. I do have libgcc_eh.a in my Debian system, as part of my gcc package, with no need for other packages. But the goal of LFS is to isolate itself from the host system as much as possible right from the beginning. Since I built and installed the gcc source into /tools before I built glibc, I figured it would use those libraries, no? I would think it would be looking for /tools/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.2/libgcc_eh.a. If so, then either the gcc build was wrong for not building this library, or the glibc build is wrong for depending on this library.
