 You log stdout, but any error messages are usually on stderr.
Try something like '>my.install.log 2>&1'.

 Never seen it.  I wonder if you missed the 'spawn' patch ?

 If you didn't miss that, perhaps you interrupted the build
with a Ctrl-C and that was the result ?  If you have managed
to install it, you might want to run the test from chapter 6
binutils -
expect -c "spawn ls"
(section 6.12).

 I'm assuming that /dev/pts is indeed mounted on your host.
