LFS Glibc gets stuck in infinite loop while compiling

[thenetminder33]

I am currently building the Glibc part of Linux From Scratch.
When I am making it, it gets stuck in an infinite loop producing the following output over and over. I am not sure what is causing it. I have destroyed my glibc-build and glibc-2.14.1 directories and restarted the process twice, only to get stuck at the same spot every single time.

Here is the build process after untarballing the package and calling its directory:

patch -Np1 -i ../glibc-2.14.1-gcc_fix-1.patch
patch -Np1 -i ../glibc-2.14.1-cpuid-1.patch
mkdir -v ../glibc-build
cd ../glibc-build
case `uname -m` in
    i?86) echo "CLFAGS += -march=i486 -mtune=native" > configparms ;;
esac
../glibc-2.14.1/configure --prefix=/tools \
    --host=$LFS_TGT --build=$(../glibc-2.14.1/scripts/config.guess) \
    --disable-profile --enable-add-ons \
    --enable-kernel=2.6.25 --with-headers=/tools/include \
    libc_cv_forced_unwind=yes libc_cv_c_cleanup=yes
make -j2
make install -j2

The make step gets stuck in an infinite loop producing the following output (I know it is a lot, but am not sure which part is relevant):

make[2]: Warning: File `/tools/include/linux/limits.h' has
modification time 24550 s in the future

Which version of LFS are you using?

[thenetminder33]

I am using 7.0 rc2. I realize that is the unstable version but feel as though this problem may be able to be solved anyways. If we can't fix it I'll switch back to the stable version.

Well, it IS called "unstable" for a reason... As they say, caveat user!

[Jonathan183]

You might want to try info here

[thenetminder33]

Well,
It appears as though the problem had to do with this line:

make[2]: Warning: File `/tools/include/linux/limits.h' has modification time 24550 s in the future

This warning was produced because I had recently changed my clock backwards because it was wrong.
I rebuilt it now (More than 24550s after my last attempt) and it worked seamlessly.

My problem is solved, thank you all for the help.
I don't how to mark the thread as solved, I cannot find a button to do so and am not sure if you guys do that here at linux forums

[Rubberman]

A moderator will have to do that. The last "upgrades" to the site disabled the ability of a poster to mark their threads as "solved".
