I am not a stranger to LFS/CLFS.

And yes I created the links like so:-
mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/tools
ln -sv ${CLFS}/tools               /

and so
mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/cross-tools
ln      -sv  ${CLFS}/cross-tools  /

I followed the book religously on two setups:- 

--setup1: gcc-4.4.2, linux-3.0.x,glibc-2.10 (cpu amd64 3core) OS-cblfs
--setup2: gcc-4.6.2, linux-3.6.5,glibc-2.14 (cpu amd64 3core) OS-cblfs

before starting these were done:-
a) the partition on each occasion was reformatted with fdisk,  
b) the mount point (/mnt/clfs) removed, 
c) the symlinks /cross-tools and /tools removed
e) the user and group clfs  removed  with home directory /home/clfs 
f) i.e. everything zeroed.

After setting up the user and making the symlinks etc
I initially created a test file in each /mnt/clfs/cross-tools and 
/mnt/clfs/tools and fetched them from /cross-tools and /tools respectively 
(just as a small test ).  Both /mnt/clfs/cross-tools and /mnt/clfs/tools 
belonged to user clfs and  there were no iffy links as far as I could discern 
before starting the build on both occasions.



I then reached as far as 
http://cross-lfs.org/view/svn/x86_64-64/temp-system/bash.html
and did the test
readelf -e /tools/bin/bash |  grep interpret

and it returned 
Requesting program interpreter /tools/tools/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

The only programs it returns   the correct path for are for programs which are 
part of glibc
for example
readelf -e /tools/bin/iconv |  grep interpret
readelf -e /tools/bin/getent |  grep interpret
etc

returns
Requesting program interpreter /tools/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2


Thanks for your help but whatever the problem I dont think it is link 
creation.  I am wondering if this is a biug.

I have had iffy downloads of eglibc before.  And as I said If you posted  the  
copy of eglibc-2.17  that you successfully used  somewhere on the cblfs setup 
I could download it as I am unsure of the version of eglibc I am using.
