Hi,

I have followed all the instructions without deviation.
Unfortunately, I seem to have reached somewhat of an impasse with the (second? proper?) compile of glibc. Either way the terminal output is as follows:

-I../sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/wordsize-64 -I../sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64 -I../sysdeps/ieee754/flt-32 -I../sysdeps/wordsize-64 -I../sysdeps/ieee754 -I../sysdeps/generic -I.. -I../libio -I. -D_LIBC_REENTRANT -include /sources/glibc-2.29/build/libc-modules.h -DMODULE_NAME=libc -include ../include/libc-symbols.h -DTOP_NAMESPACE=glibc -o /sources/glibc-2.29/build/csu/Mcrt1.o -x c /dev/null
/dev/null:1:8: error: unknown type name 'GNU'
mkdir (GNU coreutils) 8.30
^~~
make[2]: *** [Makefile:168: /sources/glibc-2.29/build/csu/Mcrt1.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/sources/glibc-2.29/csu'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:258: csu/subdir_lib] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/sources/glibc-2.29'
make: *** [Makefile:9: all] Error 2

My limited Linux knowledge tells me that the 'mkdir (GNU coreutils)' command is directly written into the file, thus my suspicion is either:

1. (very unlikely to impossible) There is an error with glibc.

1. (more likely) There is something that is incorrect on my behalf. What this something is, I cannot be certain. Perhaps a file I have not linked, or build in the correct place, or perhaps a command during the configure process I have overlooked? However, I remain confused as to from where such an error could arise, seeing as I have pretty much copy-pasted almost all commands into the terminal.

Thank you for your help and time with this issue.

Sounds not too serious. Give us the exact page (e.g. 6.21 or whatever). When the compile pukes, hit up-arrow & return and post all it spews out. Tell us your host system

Are you sure you have bound all dynamic directories in your new partition to their equivalents on the host before chrooting over? Please go through chapter 6.2 carefully.

Here you go:

Hope it helps. 95% of it is indecipherable to me. :P

Thank you so far.

p.s. I am running on Bodhi Linux (so that the base system does not consume that many resources) in a virtualbox. And yes, I made sure to install or update all the relevant software, and make the appropriate symlinks.

I would have thought so, seeing as I have inputted all the commands in chapters 5 and 6 as they are printed. However, just so we are on the same page, to someone who doesn't quite have as much expertise as you, what type/types of commands should I be looking for exactly when binding the dynamic in my new partitions?

This is the bit I meant
Your error message suggests to me that you may not have a working /dev directory in your chroot environment. You can check that easily by listing /dev with the ls command. If the directory is empty, you have forgotten to bind it to the dev directory of your host.

If you are building in stages on separate days, you need to carry out these bind commands before each session. You do it in the host environment before you chroot over. The easiest way, I've found, is to put everything -- mount, bind and chroot -- into a permanent script, then just run it.
