Quite odd... running aLFS-6.1 from the current LiveCD on a somewhat-old laptop is throwing
make check errors during the compile of
glibc (2.3.4), such as "posix/wordexp" test, an "nptl" CPU-mask test, and an error in "sscanf." All kinds of things. It's an Intel Pentium-4, and I am basically (at this point anyway) doing
nothing but letting aLFS do its thing. It repeats these three failures over and over and never goes beyond the
make check on its own.
All of Chapter-5 ran flawlessly.
Ooh, even wierder... if you skip the check and just go for the install it complains about one of the languages... and (of all things)
/dev/null. {Nothing to it, eh?
... sorry ...}
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Algiers... (Algiers?!) ...
/dev/null/ input line of unknown type... 
Has this machine just teleported itself to the far side of the planet?
Am I having, like, an MBF (major brain-fart) here? A senior-moment to beat all comers? This is a
stock attempt to run with the
latest LiveCD .. the very same one that ran so happily before. What on earth could be causing it to do
this?
