Greetings This is my first contact with CLFS (but not with LFS). Before trying to build CLFS-1.2.0, I would like to know your opinions about whether what I'm trying to achieve is feasible, or whether it is a good strategy at all. I want to build CLFS on a x86 host for a x86 target. I don't require a bootable system, I only need to be able to chroot to the build system and then compile some software statically against eglibc (also for x86). The idea is to obtain binaries that can be moved to an initramfs: busybox, for example; e2fsprogs would be great. Maybe others, later... Note that I'm not talking about building the CLFS itself statically. Question: are binaries statically compiled against eglibc small enough? (Meaning: not much bigger than the same ones compiled against uClibc?)
The host system might be a problem. I currently run Arch, and I'm in the process of changing to Slackware. Both have toolchains that are newer than the recommended versions...
