Re: [lfs-support] Adjusting the Toolchain: components with '-linux-gnu' should be ignored

I am afraid I have to bother you again with theser SEARCH_DIRs. While the question above pertained to step 6.10, I now have a similar thing in Step 6.20 (Installation of GCC) SEARCH_DIR("=/tools/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib64") SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib") SEARCH_DIR("/lib")

Re: [lfs-support] Step 6.9: error: missing __attribute__ ((constructor)) support

I'm afraid your problem is just a stupid typo somewhere in either glibc, binutils or gcc, either in chapter 5 or 6. Tim, you're right. I must have overlooked something. I was able to build Glibc in the second step now. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ:

Re: [lfs-support] Step 6.9: error: missing __attribute__ ((constructor)) support

you seem to be misreading what the book says. The current stable book is 8.1, and the following specific minimum versions are mentioned: gcc-4.7 (you imply versions > 4.4.1 are not tested) glibc-2.11. As Pierre said, gcc-7.3.0 did not exist when 8.1 was released. In practice it should be
