Are you pasting from the pdf book or from the html version (if so with which browser?). I'm copying from the website in firefox. Thanks for helping! In my beginner, and humble opinion, if you are having trouble this early on in the build process, I think something is wrong with your environment. After a few times, I started keeping the commands I entered into a text file. I could look back and see I had did something wrong for whatever reason. It may be quicker for you just to start all over again, than to hunt for the cause of the build error. I have successfully built versions 8.4, and 9.0. In those builds I started over numerous times. Just something to consider.

I have a session where I confirm the variables first and then run the configure script: http://ix.io/1ZVo Do I need a special no-bootstrap flag?

So at some point in your build, a "configure" script tries to run: /mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-9.2.0/build/./prev-gcc/xgcc -B/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-9.2.0/build/./prev-gcc/ -B/tools/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/tools/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/tools/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem /tools/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/include -isystem /tools/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/sys-include -fno-checking I do not have this in my build. prev-gcc is used when doing "bootstrapping". When building a cross compiler, there is no possibility to bootstrap, so for some reason, your build believes this is not a cross compiler. One likely reason is that LFS_TGT is not set, one less likely reason is that the line "--target=..." got skipped (less likely if you copy-paste from the book). Try "echo $LFS_TGT" before running configure. It's not a bad idea to check that LFS is set too... If everything seems normal, please post the output of configure. Not the one which fails, but the one which is run before "make".

Since we use --disable-bootstrap, we should not have a "prev-gcc" directory, and we should not be using xgccc. Can you check from config.log that --disable-bootstrap was passed to configure?
