Hi there!

I have been trying to compile GCC-4.8.1 in section 5.5 of LFS 7.4.  The
first problem was that the compiler didn't seem to understand (a
parameter to configure on p.37):

  --disable-libstdc++-v3

In case anyone else has the problem, I found after running "configure
--help" that the solution seems to be to replace it with:

  --disable-libstdcxx

The second problem is a bit more intractible.  Having made the apbove
adjustment to "configure", when I run "make" it bombs out with:

I have the following environment variables set:

LFS=/mnt/lfs
LFS_TGT=x86_64-lfs_7_4-linux-gnu
PATH=/tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin

I have tried seaching for a solution bu all I have found has been
memory problems with Gentoo.  I suspect the problem may be related to
one of the following:

There appears to be somthing wrong with the "sed" command on page 37:

   sed -i '/k prot/agcc_cv_libc_provides_ssp=yes' gcc/configure

as the output from 'grep "k prot" gcc/configure' (before running "sed")
is:

  # Test for stack protector support in target C library.
        # all versions of Bionic support stack protector

Another thing that seems strange is the configure option (again on page
37):

  --with-mpfr-lib=$(pwd)/mpfr/src/.libs

There is no file "mpfr/src/.libs", in fact there is nothing called
".libs" in the whole of mpfr's source tree.

If you've read so far you are truly one of my heros!  I hope to be able
to contribute to the community myself once I have built LFS.

Kind regards,

Bernard.

[1]  Originally I had /bin/sh -> /bin/dash, as seems to be the default
on Debian, but I changed it so I could follow the book more closely.
