--with-sysroot is an option passed when building the ld command. We only need it in Chapter 5 pass 2 because we need ld to search /tools for libraries. You can probably use it everywhere, but it also is not needed except in places like LFS where we --prefix=/tools. Note that in C5p2 we are specifically running CC=$LFS_TGT-gcc and we need to set up ld to search for libraries in the correct places in the correct order. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
