[Clfs-dev] More issues with trunk

[Ken Moffat]

>From my x86_64-64 build, which is now building its kernel:

1. I noticed failures in the gcc pure64 patch for rs6000/t-linux64,
sparc/linux64.h, sparc/linux.h.

2. e2fsprogs' configure fails because pkg-config is not installed.
The easy option is to just add it, as in LFS.

3. I was unable to remove the coreutils directory after running
its testsuite, and counldn't umount the filesystem (in use).  I
happened to have lsof on the host, that said it couldn't stat
a particular test file which it thought was a tmpfs (although it
was within the coreutils tests directory) and labelled '(deleted).
After remounting r/o during shutdown, and then rebooting, I
was able to remove it.  Might be down to how I build, or might
turn out to be a common problem.

4. The iputils man-pages are not in doc/ : the patch creates
them in the top-level directory, so change
install -v -m644 doc/*.8 /usr/share/man/man8
to
install -v -m644 *.8 /usr/share/man/man8

5. In general, I see no point in commenting on testsuites
unless the book is near to a release, but I think the
following are worth noting:

5.1 coreutils failed in the gnulib tests -
   CC     read-file.o
read-file.c:136: fatal error: opening dependency file
.deps/read-file.Tpo: Permission denied
compilation terminated.
make[5]: *** [read-file.o] Error 1

5.2 e2fsprogs had 4 failures, of which 3 were accompanied by
segfauilts.  Haven't looked, maybe it assunes lib64.
