If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details

Configure doesn't normally produce that amount of output, that looks
as if you have selected certain lines from config.log ?

I am building in /usr/src/Octothrope/BUILD/ as I am building with rpmbuild.
This has not been a problem in LFS 8.1. I am updating my LFS-8.1 build to
LFS 8.2 and have only changed the difference between the two handbooks.
Any hints to what has occurred?

Sorry, no. I did wonder about "disk full", but if you are running
as root then that only fails when the disk really _is_ full, so
config.log would not have been fully written.

Usually, "only changed the difference" suggests that the builder
missed something. But in this case, I find it hard to imagine that
any of the major changes (adding libffi, meson, ninja, python3,
openssl) have affected file, which I generally class in Rincewind
style as "boring" (and much-appreciated because of that).

Do you get the same problem with whichever version was in 8.1, or
with the current 5.33 ?

PS - we call them versions of the book, or releases. The word
'handbook' implies a certain non-GPL'd OS ;-)

Yes this is a piece from config.log

Sorry, no. I did wonder about "disk full", but if you are running
as root then that only fails when the disk really _is_ full, so
config.log would not have been fully written.

The partition that this is being built on has 20GB of free space. /tmp
is a 16GB tempfs on the host.
It is mounted at /mnt/lfs and was clean before chapter 5 was built/installed

If I missed something it was adjusting the toolchain....The toolchain
test came back exactly what the book has.
I believe it was good before the adjust tool chain in chapter 6.
Something could have when wrong there but I have not uncovered anything
amiss.

No it built, the only thing changed between the 8.1 and this is what is
in the book.

I think you answered a different question from the one I asked. I
don't care what worked in your 8.1 build, only whether all recent
versions of file show the problem in your current build.

And if they do, any other infromation you can gather will be useful.

It feels as if you are deliberately misunderstanding what I ask.
I'll reply to your other post.

Completely missing what you are saying. I am using the the LFS-8.2
handbook downloaded from the linuxfromscratch.org. I am following the
book using the versions AS OUTLINED in the handbook. Chapter 6.12 gives
the version as file-5.52 and I have no idea as to why you think I am
using anything else. I have built the tool chain ( chapter 5) and then
I am at this point in the build AGAIN following the LFS-8.2 handbook.

Anyway here is what I found:

I reran the the test from Chapter 6.10 and it gave this result

[Requesting program interpreter: /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2]

/lib64 is empty at this point in the build, so I proceeded with the
following

cd /lib64
cp /lib/ld-2.27.so .
ln -sf ld-2.27.so ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

Now /lib64 has the "ld files"
the configure in chapter 6.12. File-5.32
/configure --prefix=/usr
will now complete.

My question now is what should be in /lib64 at this point?

I was asking you to try different versions of file to try to
determine if something in that version of file was doing something
odd (seems unlikely, but 8.2 was released months ago and I don't
recall anybody else with a similar program).

I reran the the test from Chapter 6.10 and it gave this result
[Requesting program interpreter: /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2]
/lib64 is empty at this point in the build, so I proceeded with the
following
cd /lib64
cp /lib/ld-2.27.so .
ln -sf ld-2.27.so ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
Now /lib64 has the "ld files"
the configure in chapter 6.12. File-5.32
/configure --prefix=/usr
will now complete.
My question now is what should be in /lib64 at this point?

The symlinks you should have installed in the third instruction on
the glibc page (in the case statement which also sets up GCC_INCDIR).

Apart from the changed gcc version, I don't think that has changed
since 8.1.

Yes this is a piece from config.log

If I use ./configure --prefix=/usr --host x86_64 the configure will then
work.

What does the --host x86_64 do to "correct" this issue?

./configure --prefix=/usr gives the following:

configure:3851: checking for suffix of executables
configure:3858: gcc -o conftest conftest.c >&5
configure:3862: $? = 0

At that point, I think it has determined that executables do not
need a .exe suffix (i.e. you are not on cygwin). Hence a blank
result.

configure:3914: gcc -o conftest conftest.c >&5
configure:3918: $? = 0
configure:3925: ./conftest
./configure: line 3927: ./conftest: No such file or directory
configure:3929: $? = 127

Look at the lines of configure from about line 3885 to line 3929.
And also near the start of the file re 'host' for an explanation of
why --host is accepted.
