Hi
in chapter 5 of LFS book, at "5.4. Binutils-2.22 - Pass 1" point, I run "configure" and "make" commands for binutils but don't run "make install", and understand some of host system requirements aren't in my system, I run version-check.sh file and fix problems with these guides, then I rerun configure and make commands for binutils package so I encounter with below errors by running make command:

what should I do for fixing these errors?

Did you remove the /mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build and /mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-2.22 directories before you retried?

You should; Always remove the source directory and unpack again after something went wrong. This to ensure a clean source. In short:

Code:

cd $LFS/sources
rm -rf binutils-build binutils-2.22
tar xf binutils-2.22.tar.bz2
cd binutils-2.22
<follow steps in chapter>
