I can certainly add autoconf to the host requirements, but the last time we checked, it was not a prerequsite for glibc. It should only be needed if configure.in is modified.

In the past, dash did not work. It may be version dependent. I still think bash is the better option. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
