One thing to consider is that back in the days of LFS-6.2, I think we were doing the "saving binutils directory for chapter 6", then in Chapter 6 we modify the Chapter 5 installation of binutils. Or something along those lines. Bottom line is I remember that the Chapter 5 Tools directory gets modified, so it is not a pure Chapter 5 Tools build. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.22] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 10:17:00 up 53 days, 15:25, 5 users, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.05 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
