5.12. Binutils-2.15.94.0.2.2 - Pass 2 - error on "make"

[satimis]

Hi folks,

LFS 6.1

6.12. Re-adjusting the Toolchain
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...adjusting.html

Because I overlooked the "Warning" of
5.12. Binutils-2.15.94.0.2.2 - Pass 2
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...ils-pass2.html

having removed Binutils source and build directories previously. Therefore I have redo it.

All went through without complaint

Please advise how to fix this problem

Remark: Previously both
5.3. Binutils-2.15.94.0.2.2 - Pass 1
and
5.12. Binutils-2.15.94.0.2.2 - Pass 2

went through without problem

Remark:
Rechecked the Notes taken down previously during building LFS;
Bison-2.0
Flex-2.5.31

already installed without problem

I had a few problems like that when I was installing LFS, but I didn't take notes on how I recovered from them Is there anything interesting in the config.log file -- like comlaints about missing libraries, or some obvious fault like that??

By the way -- I really encourage you to keep going with LFS. I'm half way through BLFS and I have learnt so much about the guts of linux. I'm even acting as a pseudo-sysadmin for some of my friends who were previously the guys who helped me!! All cos of LFS.
As well as being a great learning experience, it's a really nice feeling to know that you only have what you need on your computer and that you've taken the time to configure everything exactly how you want it.

Hi smolloy,

Tks for your advice.

I set this problem aside and went straight to 6.13. Binutils-2.15.94.0.2.2.

I'm now approaching to "7.6. Configuring the Linux Console", going through all sections before this section without much problem.
