LinuxQuestions.org - LFS 6 ch5.9 adjusting the toolchain failed sanity check

Hi,

I'm attempting LFS v6 using MEPIS (2004.04) as the host distribution.
I'm relatively new to linux and I'm studying for LPIC.
I havent deviated from the instructions (that I'm aware of).

I've made it as far as 5.9. Adjusting the Toolchain.

lfs@1[sources]$ SPECFILE=`gcc --print-file specs` &&
> sed 's@ /lib/ld-linux.so.2@ /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2@g' \
> $SPECFILE > tempspecfile &&
> mv -f tempspecfile $SPECFILE &&
> unset SPECFILE
lfs@1[sources]$ rm -f /tools/lib/gcc/*/*/include/{pthread.h,bits/sigthread.h}
lfs@1[sources]$ echo 'main(){}' > dummy.c
lfs@1[sources]$ cc dummy.c
/tools/lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `__libc_stack_end@GLIBC_2.1'
/tools/lib/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_rtld_global_ro@GLIBC_PRIVATE'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
lfs@1[sources]$ readelf -l a.out | grep ': /tools'
readelf: Error: 'a.out': No such file

I've tried the troubleshooting steps in the document (the specs file, symlink and path are all correct) then searched the LFS mailing list archives, google and this forum.

The make -C ld install command gave allot of errors.

Does anyone know whats likely to of caused this and how to fix it ?
