This is at least my third go at compiling the binaries using 8.3 instructions, but I'm having an issue with the toolchain.

My first ever go at compiling with LFS 8.3 and Ubuntu 18.10 (server ISO, Live CD) on a VM ran into problems at "6.7.1. Installation of Linux API Headers" make mrproper. I got an error message stating - "arch/x86/Makefile:184: *** Compiler lacks asm-goto support.. Stop.". I assumed it was because the VM crashed during compilation and it didn't like my restart of the process.

Back to the start, delete everything, and yet the same issue occured.

On my third go, I ditched Ubuntu 18.10 and went for 18.04.1 LTS. I've also scripted all the commands as presented in the LFS 8.3 book, so that everything is recorded and issued the same every time. To my frustration, I find the following:

In the tools folder, during glibc (Chpt. 5.7), I get 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' being created.
Additionally, if I check the dynamic linker information in those binaries, I get /lib64/.. rather than /tools/lib64.

Below are all the files that carry this error:

What am I doing wrong, because I can't spot the obvious error?

As I say, my first few go were issuing the commands by hand with Ubuntu 18.10, and now I'm running a script with Ubuntu 18.04 with commands straight out of the LFS 8.3 pages.

Cheers for any useful insight you could share with me.

To start can you please post the output of the version-check.sh script here:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/.../hostreqs.html

Ubuntu is not LFS compliant out of the box and needs some tweaks.

My mistake, should've done that in the first post.

Well I got to the same place ("6.7.1. Installation of Linux API Headers" make mrproper) and got the same error message. arch/x86/Makefile:184: *** Compiler lacks asm-goto support.. Stop.

Time to delete it all again and try Debian 9 ..

I dunno. Is everyone else getting thru LFS8.3 ok??

I had to resort to the following, after trying my fourth attempt under Debian and still failing ...

At the end of Chapter 6.6, before starting work on Linux-4.18.5 API Headers :

ln -sv /tools/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64

Seriously, I think the book is missing something.

No it dose build by the book I have not had a problem. Is everything mounted correctly in ch 6.2?
is LFS ste for root?

Maybe it's just me, but I found some more dramas.

In 6.9.1. Installation of Glibc, in theory you'd be in the following directory when issuing the commands:

[/mnt/lfs]/sources/glibc-2.28, or as the chroot environment sees it, /sources/glibc-2.28/

This block of code doesn't work right for me, as the ln statements don't refer to the right directory .....

case $(uname -m) in
i?86) GCC_INCDIR=/usr/lib/gcc/$(uname -m)-pc-linux-gnu/8.2.0/include
ln -sfv ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3
;;
x86_64) GCC_INCDIR=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.2.0/include
ln -sfv ../lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64
ln -sfv ../lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3
;;
esac

To get 6.9.1 working, I did a find for the "real" ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 and then symlinked those into lib64 and everything worked.

Sorry for the out of sequence reply spiky0011, and yep, everything mounted and as it should be.
$LFS set for root yes.

I must be on the right track despite some hiccups, as glibc compiled with only two of the expected fails.

misc/tst-ttyname is known to fail in the LFS chroot environment.
inet/tst-idna_name_classify is known to fail in the LFS chroot environment.
