I have seen the following error from the "Stage 2" binutils build
Running /usr/src/binutils/binutils-2.27/ld/testsuite/ld-x86-64/x86-64.exp ...
FAIL: PLT PC-relative offset overflow check
with the summay as follows
=== ld Summary ===
# of expected passes 1741

/usr/src/binutils/binutils-2.27/build/ld/ld-new 2.27
I note this is the same issue as reported here
http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/lfs-support/2016-February/049602.html
although the 7.10 book doesn't mention it as a "potential/known" fail
I also can't see what the "fix" was from the quoted thread but it looks
like it is a "can be ignored" ?
For reference:
Host machine is a CentOS 6.8 Xen DomU, running off of a CentOS 6.8 Xen Dom0
(which, incidently, is still at GCC 4.4.7, so some way shy of the GCC
4.7 requirement
that LFS 7.10 suggests - may look to move to the devtoolset-3-gcc
which is 4.9.2)
Notes:
1) Clealry I didn't run any binutils tests in the Stage 1 build
2) I'm not compiling it as root (this is a MCPM build)
