Hello. I have some thoughts I would like to share, all related to new features.
The so called "new hosts", let's say Fedora Core 6 (now old, there's Fedora 7 coming), OpenSUSE 10.2 (now there's 10.3 alpha 3) and others all use the new GNU HASH style definition (anyway it can use even the old definition by passing "hash-style=sysv"). I've built myself several LFSs using this feature and had ran into no troubles, still the answer is always the same when people have troubles with "ld" (because of unsupported feature): use older host etc... My idea is wouldn't be the time, now, to incorporate this feature (linking times reduced by 50% as example) and let it become the "new" standard way of building LFS systems? Anyway it's not an additional feature but a bare system feature. I mean that steps towards feature can and, imho, must be done because of innovations (like newer file-systems). Best wishes, L. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
