Hello, First, thank you all who have created LFS and graciously offer to support users who take on the project.
After getting to the end of chapter 5 of the LFS 8.2 book, I noticed that my /tools directory has both the host and the new architecture-specific locations: /tools/x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu /tools/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu And, more disturbingly, it seems that gcc prefers the linker from the host architecture directory: $ type gcc gcc is /tools/bin/gcc $ gcc -print-prog-name=ld /home/lfs/LFS_8p2_temp/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/7.3.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld This seem wrong. I did notice the dual directories early, but figured it was an artifact of the initial pass and would be adjusted in later steps. Maybe it's not wrong; the remaining work is still being performed on the build system, which would mean that the above linker location is correct? Sorry, this is a bit confusing to me; I'm fairly new to the practice of cross-compiling. 1. Is this incorrect? 2. What might I have done incorrectly to cause it? 3. Any shortcut to correcting it?
