• The package or section the problem was encountered in : Binutils first compilation • The exact error message or symptom being received : No error message • Note whether you have deviated from the book at all : didnt deviate. My problem is that until make, it all goes well, or so it seems, after the configure when i am going to run make, it all looks ok, so when i compile the package it stays in an infinite loop, or so it seems, printing the same over and over again. it prints, this : make: Warning: File `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-2.23.1/Makefile.in' has modification time 2.8e+08 s in the future CONFIG_SHELL="/bin/sh"
