I'm building binutils in Ch6 and can't make binutils because there are no
ptys. I've checked the things in the FAQ, and most seem OK. I depart
from the book by installing /dev on the real FS, rather than a tempfs.
#ls $LFS/dev/p* -l
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 2 Jul 9 17:09 /mnt/lfs/dev/ptmx
<-- OK?
/mnt/lfs/dev/pts: <-- OK?

#ls $LFS/dev/shm -l
/mnt/lfs/dev/shm: <-- OK?

#cat /etc/fstab
# Begin /etc/fstab

# End /etc/fstab
But I find one thing wrong that I don't know how to fix: CONFIG_DEVPTS is
not available. The host is a LFS-4.1/2.4.31. That is too old, so to
build Ch5 I took the linux-2.6.11.12 kernel in 6.1.1, and compiled that
without modules as a "test" kernel. That's taken me this far. 8-)
With the new kernel in it's own branch I ran make menuconfig, and what
I've got is:
#cat /usr/local/src/linux-2.6.11.12/.config
#
# Automatically generated make config: don't edit
# Linux kernel version: 2.6.11.12

Is make menuconfig somehow getting confused? Why don't I get to set
DEVPTS? The issues mentioned in the FAQ seem OK, but I'm not sure about
this kernel. Any suggestions?
FWIW, I get into the chroot with:
#!/bin/bash -e
# Prepare & enter the build environment for a session
# Q&D test to see if this is the first time
if [ ! -d $LFS/proc ] ; then
mkdir -vp $LFS/{proc,sys,dev} &&
#PGR git needs /dev/null
mknod -m 666 $LFS/dev/null c 1 3
fi &&
if ! grep $LFS/proc /proc/self/mounts >/dev/null ; then
mount -vt proc proc $LFS/proc
fi
if ! grep $LFS/sys /proc/self/mounts >/dev/null ; then
mount -vt sysfs sysfs $LFS/sys
fi
chroot "$LFS" /tools/bin/env -i \
HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin \
/tools/bin/bash --login +h
