Thank you for your suggestions, Ken.
I did check the minimum Host System Requirements when I started off (I
am indeed trying to build LFS-7.4 on Ubuntu 12.04), but rechecked them
and nothing seems amiss.
As for capturing the output, I went about it in two steps:
/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build$ ../binutils-2.23.2/configure
--prefix=/tools --with-sysroot=$LFS --with-lib-path=/tools/lib
--target=$LFS_TGT --disable-nls --disable-werror > myconflog 2>&1 and,
after checking there were no errors in myconflog, followed it with
make > mymakelog 2>&1. The errors in mymakelog were exactly as reported
in my initial post and in my reply to William Harrington. I can send you
the log files if you deem it necessary and appropriate.
Thank you for your support. Best regards.
