I would first try compiling binutils-2.14 as per ch.6 of the book (i.e.
--prefix=/usr --enable-shared or whatever the instructions were
I fail to see the value of the chroot. The idea of that is to point at
the new root dir, so your new system won't be installed over the old one
which is what you want when you're making a new LFS. You are simply
employing the compiler, hoping against hope that it will fix your old
system.
For this compile, I would add /tools/lib and any other /tools lib
directories on top of /etc/ld.so.conf, and rerun ldconfig. I would also
mangle the path on the console you are building with thusly
PATH=/tools:$PATH;
Then try the make install.
It may well barf on the includes(/tools/include), which I reckon means
another compile option (--INCLUDEDIR=/tools/include ?) or else hacking
the makefile
If I have steered you fatally wrong others will no doubt jump in and say
so.
