[Clfs-support] CLFS for ppc on LFS 6.3 host

[Anthony Drake]

Ken, Joe,
glibc on the target system is 2.1.3.  It's (libc's) version herald states linuxthreads-0.8.   I do have rpm packages for binutils, glib, and gcc of the versions used to build the target system, so my next effort is to attempt to build a cross compiler environment of those packages.   I will use either RH 7.2 or a slightly later version of RH to try to build, and I will use as much of the clfs procedure as possible.
Thanks again, Anthony Drake

As I follow the steps I double check that sed operations and the like actually provide expected results, using diff or otherwise.

So, that problem is gone.

Yeah, this is the --enable-kernel=2.6.0 in the book.  One reason
for using that is that we moved to nptl instead of linux-threads.
You cannot run any current clfs under a 2.4 kernel.

As to what version of glibc can run under a 2.4 kernel, I've no
idea.  Sorry I didn't spot that showstopper earlier.
