For these machines, I've got current systems (8.0 or newer), as well as a rescue CD, so no thanks. I think you maybe misunderstood what I was saying - these systems are partitioned to support development with several filesystems used, or available, for LFS. I normally build in Xorg, and all my sources and scripts are mounted over nfs. Because these systems are no-longer maintained (and have known-vulnerable packages such as old versions of firefox, and probably an unmaintained old openssl), I have to remind myself to not use anything except terms (urxvt). Hmm, I'm using current LFS with glibc-2.26 and the current glibc fhs patch. So its possible something else needs to change. I just mention that because I found a 7.8 system (gcc-5.2.0) and that too has just failed in gcc pass 2 with what the same error. When I said I hadn't got as far as glibc, I was of course mistaken. I'm now thinking that perhaps even gcc-5.2 is too old to build a full gcc-7.1, because of changed C++ standards. ĸen -- I live in a city. I know sparrows from starlings.
