I am also getting the same error.
Plz help me out

What version of LFS are you building?
What is the platform?
Try build the latest stable 6.1.1 if you are building a devel version of LFS

I got rid of the problem by executing:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/tools/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

glibc error LFS 6.1.1 ch. 6.11
 

I have this exact same problem..... anyone have any solution for this?
my config.log has the exact same output as the one posted above...
any idea what could be the problem?

somone solved this problem by linking.. is it a safe method? or will it break anything later even if it works now?
.. i tried the LD_LIBRARY thing mentioned here.. but no use. any ideas?

glibc error LFS 6.1.1 Chapter 6.11
 

... I went back and redid the second pass of gcc.. after which the configure worked fine.. but the make gave zillions of errors...

using LFS 6.1.1

root:/sources/glibc-build# readelf -l /tools/bin/gcc | grep 'ld-linux'
[Requesting program interpreter: /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2]
any ideas as to what i might have done wrong?
should i reinstall everything i did since the gcc pass two in chapter 5?
at my wit's end..

i am using the LFS 6.1.1 book and am stuck at chapter 6.11..
the tests for glibc fail...
however once I started the install process of glibc in chapter 6.11 from scratch again, most of the errors were reduced... now make check -k gives the following errors

grep Error glibc-check-log
make[2]: [/sources/glibc-build/posix/annexc.out] Error 1 (ignored)
make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/nptl/tst-clock2.out] Error 1
make[1]: *** [nptl/tests] Error 2
make: *** [check] Error 2

any idea what the problem could be?
thanks in advance.
