Seems that the "as" hadn't built properly and was the source of my error.
rebuilt the system again from scratch and this time glibc is compiling happily. hopefully this will be my only problem Cheers Andy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ken Moffat Sent: 27 September 2005 12:05 To: LFS Support List Subject: Re: Glibc-2.3.4 fails to configure under section 6.11 On Tue, 27 Sep 2005, Andrew Gifford wrote: > > when i issue the configure command, it fails with the following message:- > > checking for suffix of object files ... configure:error: cannot compute > suffix of object files : cannot compile > Look in config.log, it will (hopefully) show you what it tried to compile [ the code to compile is probably not important for this particular error ] and what error messages were produced (find the 'cannot compute suffix' message, then work back a little). I'm guessing there will either be a message about gcc, or a message about ld.
