Glibc, chapter 6 installation, I get this:

There is but only one result that came back from google referring to
"bin/ld: cannot find -lcidn" here:
http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/hlfs-dev/2005-February/001833.html

According to that post, I should be building glibc-libidn in chapter
5. Anyone know how I can do this, and why I get this error?

Thanks. Below is the error as I get it. Yes it is an infernal x86_64 build!! :)



/tools/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
cannot find -lcidn
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Execution of gcc failed!
The script has found some problems with your installation!
Please read the FAQ and the README file and check the following:
- Did you change the gcc specs file (necessary after upgrading from
  Linux libc5)?
- Are there any symbolic links of the form libXXX.so to old libraries?
  Links like libm.so -> libm.so.5 (where libm.so.5 is an old library) are wrong,
  libm.so should point to the newly installed glibc file - and there should be
  only one such link (check e.g. /lib and /usr/lib)
You should restart this script from your build directory after you've
fixed all problems!
Btw. the script doesn't work if you're installing GNU libc not as your
primary library!
