Dominic and everyone else,
Thanks for the tips. I found "patch" after refreshing the
synaptic packages, and it installed fine. Now I'm on level 6.9, and
I get these errors when I run the tests on glibc:
make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/libio/tst-fopenloc.check] Error 127
make[1]: *** [libio/tests] Error 2
make[2]: [/sources/glibc-build/posix/annexc.out] Error 1 (ignored)

I've checked with the required host packages, and it seems like I have
everything I need. I've followed the book very closely up to now, but I'm
a little intimated by all the errors. Basically, a) how do I know if
these errors were caused by mistakes when building the initial,
temporary toolchain, and b) if that turns out to be the case, is it best
just to start over from scratch? ( I didn't build Bison before Bash this
time around, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with my errors )
Thank you,
Jonathan
