Hello, I am experiencing a compilation problem that I have not found answers to. I am following the 12.4 version of Linux From Scratch on a x86_64 laptop running a live Arch Linux ISO (1st of nNvember 2025). For section IV, you are meant to enter a chroot to make the remaining packages to definitively become separate from the host. During this section, when building Coreutils-9.7 (applied two patches: upstream_fix-1.patch and i18n-1.patch), running `make NON_ROOT_USERNAME=tester check-root` fails at "tests/chroot/chroot-credentials.sh". (Attached is my test-build.log)
The thing is, the LFS IRC and mailing lists have no idea why this is the case, since I have the entry for the tester user with uid 101 in /etc/passwd and /etc/groups, and nothing failed before this package. As the LFS guide states, the i18n patch is a bit buggy, so I tried recompiling without the patch, but the same test failed. Here are some of the specs of my system: - Lenovo Legion 5 15IMH05H - Intel i5-10300H - 8GB RAM - Latest archiso as of 25-11-2025 - No deviation from the LFS guide Is anyone else having this issue? I couldn't find anything at all on the mailing list, and the only results on a search engine are for the rust-based rewrite of coreutils. I shall also link to the post I made on the LFS support mailing list and its threads: https://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/sympa/arc/lfs-support/2025-11/msg00014.html Thank you.
