Hi when i configued the binutils package for the fist step then i took the following output

Code:

Do u think that so many no are fine for a pentium 233 mmx system?

After this step i compiled binutils with no other problem

Then i stuck in the gcc configuration

Code:

../gcc-3.3.3/configure --prefix=/tools --with-local-prefix=/tools --disable-nls --enable-shared --enable-languages=c
-bash-2.05b$ cd gcc-build/
-bash-2.05b$ ../gcc-3.3.3/configure --prefix=/tools --with-local-prefix=/tools --disable-nls --enable-shared --enable-languages=c
-bash-2.05b$ ../gcc-3.3.3/configure --prefix=/tools --with-local-prefix=/tools --disable-nls --enable-shared --enable-languages=c
Configuring for a i586-pc-linux-gnu host.
Created "Makefile" in /mnt/lfs/gcc-build using "mt-frag"
/tools/bin/ld: unrecognized option '--as-needed'
/tools/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
*** The command 'cc -o conftest -g   conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.

The error suggests my adding the cc environmental variable. As fas as i know this must be unset (lfs manual tells that)

did you make the symlink from gcc to cc (like: ln -s /tools/bin/gcc /tools/bin/cc)?

to set the environment variable (this shouldn't be neccesarry, as the above should take care of what its looking for)

export CC=/tools/bin/gcc

I don't know any reason for creating such simlink. The documentation says nothing about it. I think the problem exists i binutils and at the bunch of no the configure created

what does the following output:

Code:

cc -v

and did you look at config.log to see where conftest.c had a problem?

Hi,

Another question: Which LFS version (5.x or 6.x) are you trying to install?

If you are trying 5.x, try 6.x instead (see here why: http://lfs.securewebservices.co.uk/l...ml#no-asneeded

If you are trying to install 6.x, what is your base system?

Also take a look at this thread (from post #7 onward):

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=216574

All this has to do with an added option (--as-needed) in binutils-2.15. Feed your fav searchengine with:

ld "unrecognized option '--as-needed'"

It shows that this is not LFS specific.
