I always build all of LFS with -j4 or -j8 and it has not failed me. Maybe those that do have a problem are all using a scripted build vs those that don't have a scripted build? Suggesting that it may be only showing up in scripted builds? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
