Good day,
I am now working through Chapter 6 of my first try at LFS. I am using
the LiveCD host.
When I ran make -k check and grep'd the check log I found one Error
as follows:
make[2]: [/sources/glibc-build/posix/annexc.out] Error 1 (ignored)
Is this error important? I have noticed it in posted error logs but
only as one among many.
From the stable book [ 6.2 ] immediately after the instruction to
grep for Error -
You will probably see an expected (ignored) failure in the
posix/annexc test.
I'm not sure if it is relevant but just in case it is, the patch I
was to apply to glibc
called fix_test-1 was not installed as it reported it had already
been done.
Oh, you are using an old version of the book, with glibc-2.3.5.
Perhaps we didn't mention posix/annexc explicitly in those days, I
don't remember.
In this case, the message is worrying - if you read that patch, it
only updates nptl-tst-cancel7.c and as far as I can see none of our
other patches against 2.3.5 alter that file. You seem to have done
something wrong, perhaps trying to apply the patch twice, perhaps
something more serious (e.g. rebuilding glibc after a failed
attempt, without deleting the extracted source).
In general, using an old version of the book is a bad idea.

Thanks Ken,
I did not realize I had fallen so far behind. As you can probably
guess, I have been progressing intermittently, and occasionally
backwards, using the LiveCD 6.1.1. I am now trying to figure out
whether to update to 6.2 or continue with what I have and upgrade
once it is built. If I switch to the newest LiveCD version, do I need
to go back and re-do the Chapter 5 build or can I use the Chapter 5
host from 6.1.1 to build the newer version? I would really like to
get to the point of having a bootable Linux running.
