Hello, friends!
Recently I had successfully built & boot the LFS 6.2 system.
I had encountered some issues building the LFS's toolchain from my
host Fedora Core 6 (x86_64) system, so I created a partition,
mounted it as /mnt/lfs, copied sources there from the LFS 6.2 LiveCD
and chrooted to /mnt/lfs from the very beginning.
Also I added "--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu" to all "configure" scripts'
options, because my processor is a 64bit Athlon64 X2 and LiveCD's
toolchain was unable to compile for an x86_64 host without doing
cross-compilation. From this moment everything went just fine,
I had built and installed all software, the kernel (2.6.20 from
kernel.org) and booted with it with no problem.
Now I has started to compile native x86_64 toolchain, using FC6 as a
host system, and it appears to be a very uneasy task with
a number of issues requiring a very special approach. It seems it is
impossible to build an x86_64 system, more or less closely
following the 6.2 Book's instructions.
First, the FSF binutils doesn't understand "--hash-style" option. Even
when modifying host's gcc's specs file to prevent passing
this option to the linker, first make succeeded, but an adjusted ld's
compilation (with LIB_PATH=) failed with an error like
"libgcc_s.so: File format not recognized". It seems that the newly
compiled ld, installed at /tools/bin and used at this second
stage, does not recognize shared libraries compiled with "--hash-style=gnu".
$ strings libgcc_s.so | grep .hash prints only the
.gnu.hash line
and no .hash
HJL binutils compile just fine with even no touching gcc's specs, but
an error arise at gcc Pass 1 (bootstrapping) and looks
like "libc.so.6: File format not recognized". I'll try a little later
to reveal cause of this error. Maybe somebody can give me
a solution, an hint or point to the direction I should dig?
P.S.: Please don't offer me to build system from the available x86_64
beta LiveCD or something like this. I'll use it as a
"last chance" solution only, if {any|some}thing else won't help.
Best,
Fix.
