OK, I'll be "that guy" today. I apparently only read part of the
preface of the LFS book before I jumped into chapter 1, didn't even
realize it until you asked. I went back and did the process of checking
my system requirements and found a couple of things that needed to be
installed, so now I'm running the 'make' on GCC and it's past the
original point of failure and looks pretty happy. I'll administer my
lashes ASAP.
Thanks for the help and the quick response!

Hi all,
I'm working through the LFS book and I'm having an issue building GCC
(first time through in Section 5.5). The 'configure' step seems to work
OK, but when I run make, I get an error about 3 minutes in, shown below:
.
.
.
checking for unsigned long long int... yes
checking for uintmax_t... yes
checking for uintptr_t... yes
checking for int64_t underlying type... long long
configure: error: error verifying int64_t uses long long
make[1]: *** [configure-gcc] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build'
make: *** [all] Error 2
When I google the 'configure: error:' line, I see that this error
occurs,
for some people at least, when you try to build gcc without having g++
installed first. I'm not exactly a linux newbie, but I'm far from an
expert, so I don't want to go messing around with the process in the
book
and installing things out of order.
I did run the configure step last night, but inadvertently just typed
'./configure' without all the options. Then I did 'make' and it gave an
error right away, so I'm afraid I may have gotten things into a weird
state, but I don't know what to delete in order to get back good place
from which to start the whole process over. I did 'make clean' and
still
get the same result. This may not even be the problem, but I thought it
might be a possibility.
So....is anyone familiar with the error and a possible remedy?
Check host system requirements. My best guess is that you have
/bin/sh -> dash
but check ALL the requirements.
