I was going along so smoothly, then reality check... these things happen.

I can not for the life of me figure this out or just don't understand. I am using the lfslivecd-x86-6.2-3.iso Live-CD reading from LFS-Book-6.2.pdf
I'm up to 6.9. Glibc-2.3.6 going to install it and I have configure: errors:
Sorry this may get long is there no spoiler tags?

What I typed in console:

I have the config.log if I should have put that up here just tell me it's just really long, and takes a lot of room.
If you can help thanks a bunch I'm at the moment stuck!

What happens when you run the sanity checks detailed here (yes, I am aware this part of step is 6.10).

I had the same problem and went through after recompiling the binutils.
