Thanks for the quick reply and information Chris. Here is some more I
discovered when doing the first binutils compile.
In order for binutils to successfully compile in Ch 5, I had to
install flex and bison on my PS2. Not sure what the minimum versions
required are since I used the packages from the LFS 6.1.1. repo.
Make also warned that makeinfo (part of texinfo) was too old or
missing and that info documentation wouldn't be compiled. However, it
continued with the rest of the compile so this may not be truly required.
Also, the PS2 had tar-1.13.17-5 on it and didn't support the -j
switch. According to the Changelog, -j was added in 1.13.18. While
this isn't required for a successful compile, it makes extracting the
packages much easier.
