Got it. Thanks. It's relative to /lib, not $LFS/sources/gcc-build as I had thought initially. I'll have another look at ln(1). On 03/21/2012 10:25 PM, Ken Moffat wrote: > On Wed, Mar 21, 2012 at 09:54:18PM +0200, Alexander Kapshuk wrote: > >> (6). While still in $LFS/sources/gcc-build, I r

Here's what I did to build gcc: (1). Extracted the gcc archive within the $LFS/sources directory; (2). cd'd into gcc-4.6.2; (3). Ran the instructions from 6.17.1. Installation of GCC; (4). Created $LFS/sources/gcc-build and cd'd into it; (5). Configured and compiled gcc; (6). While still in $LFS/so
