A web search for my GCC-internal zlib config error configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES
turned up, amongst others, these two, the first of which results from an LFS build ! https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46487529/crosscompiling-gcc-link-tests-are-not-allowed-after-gcc-no-executables-when-che https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/issues/3964 The second of those suggests that it may be the lack of a "multilib capable" toolchain ON THE HOST that is the issue for me? With that in mind, I'm coming back to my original remarks about rebuidling in that: the way I last "upgraded" an x86_64 LFS to have multilib capibilty was by following one of DJ's old books, wherein things were effectively done in these stages: x86_64 host -> x86_64 LFS-tools x86_64 LFS-tools -> x86_64 LFS x86_64 LFS -> Multilib LFS-tools components Multilib LFS-tools -> Multilib LFS components Indeed, after the Binutills pass1 now, the only file in /tools/bin are x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-addr2line x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-nm x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-ar x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-objcopy x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-as x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-objdump x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-c++filt x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-ranlib x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-elfedit x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-readelf x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-gprof x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-size x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-ld x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-strings x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-ld.bfd x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-strip suggesting that any non-x86_64 stuff has to come from the host ? Then again, you've stated that your sucessful build came from an non-multilib host. FYI, my host (Ubuntu 1404 - yes. old, yes) has Binutils: (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.24 gcc (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.4) 4.8.4 (Ubuntu EGLIBC 2.19-0ubuntu6.14) 2.19 so is a little diferent to what the Multilib book suggests things have been tested against, bis: Binutils-2.25 (Versions greater than 2.31.1 are not recommended as they have not been tested) GCC-4.9 including the C++ compiler, g++ (Versions greater than 8.2.0 are not recommended as they have not been tested) Glibc-2.11 (Versions greater than 2.28 are not recommended as they have not been tested) I think I may find the best way forwards to be one in which I build an non-Multilib LFS 8-3 and then use that to boostrap the Multilib one, as that would give me a "host" with Binutils-2.31.1 GCC-8.2.0 Glibc-2.28 Just out of interest then, what are the Binutils, GCC, Glibc versions on the "non-multilib" host that your Multilib buils suceeds ? -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
