Romain, you do know that we run the gcc tests in a limited chroot

Arghh! I build gdb and strace on my gold builds so that I can debug
build failures if any happen in the BLFS packages I need to build
before booting.
So, I've got choices - build like the book (boring, but it will
determine if I can get through the perl tests) and drop gdb but
keep gold : I'll try that if doing it by the book completes and
boots.
/me wishes he'd started a build before you updated glibc and
binutils, it might have been easier :)
You might want to start using jhalfs for tests. I understand you want to
experiment a bit, but if you want to revert, you can just point it to a
different, or modified, version of the book.
I admit I have a pretty fast system. but the other day I did a build at
-j10 without any tests and it only took 48 minutes for everything except
actually building the kernel. You can also modify the scripts manually
for individual packages and set breakpoints.
I am not suggesting that you change your overall methodology, but perhaps
add another tool to your toolbox.
My basic method is:
Make changes to the book in my sandbox
Build the book
# Umount any current virt fs & erase everything on /mnt/lfs except sources
sh clean-mnt-lfs.sh
cd ~/jhalfs
make
cd /mnt/lfs/jhalfs
make
