LFS question - lack of activity in LFS Forum


I hope this is not such of a big problem posting this here, but still I've posted some other error yesterday in LFS Forum but it looks like no activity there ... now I know many of you have tried and probably succeded on LFS so if someone would be so kind to give some help...
Ok, so I got to Chapter 6. Installing Basic System Software without any error (not even 1, made make check at every single package) and now at 6.11. Glibc-2.3.4 after doing all that the book says I should do (with copy-paste to be sure) I get a damn error wich I can't figure out by myself. Here's what the books tells me to do and I do:
Quote:
This package is known to have issues when its default optimization flags (including the -march and -mcpu options) are changed. If any environment variables that override default optimizations have been defined, such as CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, unset them when building Glibc.
The Glibc build system is self-contained and will install perfectly, even though the compiler specs file and linker are still pointing at /tools. The specs and linker cannot be adjusted before the Glibc install because the Glibc autoconf tests would give false results and defeat the goal of achieving a clean build.
The linuxthreads tarball contains the man pages for the threading libraries installed by Glibc. Unpack the tarball from within the Glibc source directory:
tar -xjvf ../glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.4.tar.bz2 In certain rare circumstances, Glibc can segfault when no standard search directories exist. The following patch prevents this:
patch -Np1 -i ../glibc-2.3.4-rtld_search_dirs-1.patch Glibc has two tests which fail when the running kernel is 2.6.11.x The problem has been determined to be with the tests themselves, not with the libc nor the kernel. This patch fixes the problem:
patch -Np1 -i ../glibc-2.3.4-fix_test-1.patch Apply the following patch to fix a bug in Glibc that can prevent some programs (including OpenOffice.org) from running:
patch -Np1 -i ../glibc-2.3.4-tls_assert-1.patch The Glibc documentation recommends building Glibc outside of the source directory in a dedicated build directory:
mkdir -v ../glibc-build
cd ../glibc-build Prepare Glibc for compilation:
../glibc-2.3.4/configure --prefix=/usr \
--disable-profile --enable-add-ons \
--enable-kernel=2.6.0 --libexecdir=/usr/lib/glibc
After enterying the last command for configure, it looks ok at the beggining, start to configure it but suddenly I get an error. I will post all the output from running the command till the error and then I'll post the config.log for more info. This is the error:

And here's the config.log (pretty long, but for better understanding reasons .... ):
Quote:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by GNU C Library configure (see version.h), which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59. Invocation command line was

I really hope someone would help me. I'm using the LFS CD as build host and wouldn't want to reboot just to make sure I don't do something wrong next time I'm booting in, but also wouldn't want to look at the PC for hours as I have few things to do on the LFS CD. If any other info is needed please ask, I will be on the forum online refreshing the page . Thank you in advance.

how are did you set up your build environment in chap 5? Did you create a special user with a clean environment? Please post your profile config for the user you used to build the initial LFS system.

regards,

Yes, I did everything by the book (the exact thing) I wanted first to suceed in building it how they say and after try my very own mind. I used user lfs and profile it like the book say.

I now exited chroot environment, logged in again into lfs user on base system and I'm going to rebuild gcc pass 2 and after it is built skip everything else straight to chroot-ing and trying to build glibc again in the chroot environment... is that ok ? can I try this or it's for sure I'll get error doing this ... or even must I redo all the steps from gcc pass 2 untill chroot and glibc ??
