Thank you very much for the pointer. I see that the change was committed by Pierre. So, by writing "Since we have not yet built the C threads library", Pierre really means "Since we have not yet built the [libgcc library with] threads [support]". So, I think the description really has to be updated so as not to be misleading. Thanks. -- Best regards, Tadeus -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
