gcc make error in ch5.5 of LFS 6.0


Hi. I'm trying to install my first LFS.
I haven't been using Linux very long either...
and here's my problem:

I get down to this step in section 5.5 of LFS 6
make BOOT_LDFLAGS="-static" bootstrap

at the end of where it fails it says there are undefined references
i.e. "/usr/lib/libc.a(dl-version.o)(text+0xbe): undefined reference to 'strlen'
before saying "collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [genmodes] Error 1
make[1]: *** [stage2 build] Error 2
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2"

I *never* see "ld: cannot find -lc"

Being really new to Linux, I have no idea what to do next. Any have any suggestions?

whats your host system? It would be a problem there since it is using the host development libraries (hence the static build so you won't have the same problem after chrooting )

kinda odd considering it made it through stage one and on to stage two.

dont really know considering it found libc.a once a didn't have a problem with it.

I don't know what you could change as far as the setup, what version of glibc do you have on the host system?

2.3.2

I haven't changed anything (haven't changed much, added some programs) from the 4.3 defaults.
