Hi, Thanks Chris: Thank you for your prompt reply.
Unfortunately, the reason why I'm using the latest version of Binutils is deu to the current wget-list: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/wget-list On this list, binutils-2.23.1 is used http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.23.1.tar.bz2 instead of binutils-2.22 . However, on the book, it's still using binutils-2.22 http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter05/binutils-pass1.html I did notice for binutils-2.22 pass 1, there is a patch before everything starts compiling. patch -Np1 -i ../binutils-2.22-build_fix-1.patch However, I've got no idea whether this patch for binutils-2.22 is also working for binutils-2.23.1 ? Anyway, now, my question is: *is the patch a must?* Why didn't I meet any error message even without patching binutils during binutils Pass 1? Thanks again. I do need your detailed explanation. Thank you very much again.
