I note, because my PkgUser Book has explicit sections for unpacking the sources that the vanilla book doesn't, that, in Chapter 5 GGC Pass2, the order of actions prior to the creation of the build directory is:
Unpack the required external packages Change the location of GCC's default dynamic linker On x86_64 hosts, set the default directory name for 64-bit libraries to “lib”: however in GCC Pass 2, it's Create a full version of an internal header Change the location of GCC's default dynamic linker On x86_64 hosts, set the default directory name for 64-bit libraries to “lib”: Unpack the required external packages Fix a problem introduced by Glibc-2.31 Is there any reason why the required external packages can't be the first thing done in GCC Pass 2 as well? Indeed, is there any reason why the ordering in GCC Pass 2 couldn't be: Unpack the required external packages Change the location of GCC's default dynamic linker On x86_64 hosts, set the default directory name for 64-bit libraries to “lib”: Create a full version of an internal header Fix a problem introduced by Glibc-2.31 where the two actions not carried out in Pass 1 come after the three that are? Given that there is no reason given for the change in order, I think this would make the two Pass sections more similar, thereby highlighting the differences in the second pass. I could also suggest that the wording Now fix a problem introduced by Glibc-2.31: might be more explict about why, so perhaps: Now fix a problem introduced by the Glibc-2.31 we have just built: Hoping that's thought useful: Kevin -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
