This install of elfutils has copied over the linker ld, plus readelf, strip, nm and other files of 'binutils'. The error messages I've been getting are all linked to this cock up. I need to reinstall binutils-2.14 again onto my LFS box, but my existing gcc will not compile and I have no distro available. What I do have is a part build of LFS-6.0 with its /tool dir. Could I install binutils from the chrooted environment of LFS-6.0 onto my existing box? And if so I would it work and what would be the prefix? thanks MAC
