Hi all,
Here is the situation:
ncurses-5.6 fails to build, reporting that it cannot link with GPM (see
below).
What I have tried:
I have restarted the build process from the beginning many times,
watching every key stroke, but it always fails at the exact same place.
I have created my own scripts, cut-n-pasted straight from the book to
semi-automate the build process
and with LiveCD 6.2.5 I was able to complete the build without any
problems. I have made the minor adjustments (different source versions) for
the 6.3 release.
1.
As root, I set up the partitions, mount the partitions & create the
necessary directories. I then create the lfs user, group & assign
the permissions. I then switch to a second tty (Ctrl+Alt+F2),
login as lfs, create the shell environment and go from there.
2. I can build bin-utils, gcc-pass1, etc - but not get past Ch 5.13.
3. Either please send a bullet, or better yet suggestions... ;-)

Additional items I have pursued:
The command :
$ echo | gcc -v -x c - 2>&1 | sed -n '/^#include/,/End of search list/p'
#include "..." search starts here:
#include <...> search starts here:
/mnt/lfs/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/include
/tools/include
/usr/include
End of search list.
Clearly wrong as that the patch for gcc should remove /usr/include.
By visually investigating the file shows that /gcc-4.1.2/gcc/config/linux.h was
modified.
The log file also reports successful patching:

To further confound the situation, the test at the end of gcc-pass2 reports:
$echo 'main(){}' > dummy.c
$cc dummy.c
$readelf -l a.out | grep ': /tools'

Again, this is LiveCD 6.3 r2032 or r2052.
