I'll see if I can try another distro, like Fedora, as you say. To summarize, the tests so far seem to show that the problem is related to the build method producing a binutils that is incompatible with the host: * Using '-B /usr/bin/' for GCC makes the bootstrap fail at stage3. * Dropping the '-B /usr/bin/' argument for GCC makes the bootstrap fail at stage2. In short, the stage that is assembled and linked by the binutils in /tools cannot build another stage. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
