I hit this too. It's due to building on an old system. There was a change (utimensat) that the latest glibc and touch use to update a timestamp. (I grumbled for a few minutes when I discovered this -- why is there a change to this ancient function?) See, for example, http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224483 Anyhow, your fix should work for now but you probably want to upgrade the kernel, glibc and coreutils on the build system. You might run into something else later. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
