I'm getting close to making some specific suggestions to try to reduce the number of errors that we see from new builders. One of those is a script to be run as-desired in chapter 5 to look for programs and libraries linked to the host system (see my past few posts).
Unfortunately, gcc pass 1 builds libcc1.so which is, of course linked to the host. Ignoring pass 1 progs called -lfs- is easy, but to decide whether or not to test libcc1 I need to determine if gcc pass 2 has been installed. And unfortunately, the tests ought to be runnable for all chapter 5 packages from glibc onwards. On x86_64, gcc pass 2 installs x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc. On my previous 32-bit builds, it installed i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc but I am not certain if that was because of some minor way in which I might have deviated (in the same way that I used to build glibc for i686), or whether the 32-bit compiler will always be i686 ? I cannot imagine anybody trying to build current LFS on i586 or i486, but who knows ? ĸen -- This email was written using 100% recycled letters. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
