[Clfs-dev] Updates for this coming week

[William Harrington]

Greetings,

This week I plan to test changes and commit changes to the book  
regarding Martin Ward's findings and moving check to temp-system.

I also will be checking config.cache variables to make sure they are  
valid or not needed. Although I think the ones that get guessed to yes  
we may want to make sure they are yes and not guessed. Any input on  
that?

Updating check, texinfo, automake, make, tzdata, adding the binutils  
2.23.2 update branch patch, update check, adjust some package commands  
because of the updates.
This is probably a good time to update iproute2 to 3.12.0 and update  
to Linux 3.12.0.
May update eglibc 2.18 with the latest revision, but it isn't too  
critical. May wait to eglibc 2.19 at which time, eglibc will be phased  
out and we will be using glibc.
The EGLIBC devs are working on getting the transformation done to make  
sure the current patches get put into glibc mainline that they want.

I will go from x86 to x86_64-64 and x86 to x86_64 to get a proper  
cross compile to check all details of the updates.

Sincerely,

William Harrington
