I am seeing the below message when compiling binutils in Chapter 6:
/sources/binutils/bfd/configure: line 7240: /usr/bin/file: No such file or
directory
/sources/binutils/opcodes/configure: line 6975: /usr/bin/file: No such
file or directory
/sources/binutils/binutils/configure: line 7000: /usr/bin/file: No such
file or directory
/sources/binutils/gas/configure: line 6957: /usr/bin/file: No such file or
directory
/sources/binutils/ld/configure: line 7345: /usr/bin/file: No such file or
directory
For the heck of it I compiled file into /tools and symlinked it to
/usr/bin/file, re-compiled binutils in a separate directory and compared
the Makefiles.
The only difference was this:
< LD = /tools/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.4.3/../../../../x86_64
-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld -m elf_x86_64
---
> LD = /tools/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.4.3/../../../../x86_64
-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld
according to the ld man page:
"If the -m option is not used, the emulation is taken from the
"LDEMULATION" environment variable, if that is defined.
Otherwise, the default emulation depends upon how the linker was
configured."
So it appears to not be a problem but I thought I would mention it since I
didn't see any mention of it on the book or when searching the website.
