Compiling Binutils 2.20.1

Hello everybody

I try to compile binutils 2.20.1 with the LFS Manual 6.7. I use a UBUNTU 11.10 as a host system. I use the following configure:

Code:

../binutils-2.20.1/configure --target=$LFS_TGT --prefix=/tools --disable-nls --disable-werror

I get the following error:

First at all i search with help from google if anybody had a similar problem but i couldn't find anything.
Secondly, how can I solve such problems by myself? the config.log file has no further information about the error above. How can I narrow down the problem?
Can anybody give me some advice about the error above?

Greetings

Did you make sure the host system is compliant by running the version check script

OUTPUT of the test:

I am using the LFS Manual more as a guideline to prepare my own toolchain.

So there are a few problems there these need to be fixed 1st. Apt get can get the packages you require then check version check again restart build fromscratch

you still have some errors in the output.

version-check.sh: line 26: patch: command not found

These need to be fixed

sorry i post the last one too early... i saw that too... at the moment the output looks like this:

The following error "/lib/libc.so.6: No such file or directory" is due to the fact, that the library is under /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6. What should I do about that?

I had to make a symlink for it to work on mine

Code:

sudo ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so /lib/libc.so.6

Ok now everything is fine with the symlink. But i'm stuck again until I compile the binutils 2.20.1. It is the same error as above. Any further suggestions? The error is mentioning something about that two declarations of malloc are found isn't it? Do I have to exclude a specific path for the make command for further progress?

what is the output of echo $LFS

echo $LFS => /media/lfs

this is another harddrive. The lfs has the /tools & /sources folders.
Just 2 minutes before i tried to compile binutils with the root rights and i did work... something with my lfs user is quite not right... ???

What isz the output of

Code:

ls -l /lib/libc.*

on host system mine is
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 2011-10-10 19:16 /lib/libc.so.6 -> /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so

lfs@marius-HP-Pavilion-dv9500-Notebook-PC:~$ ls -l /lib/libc.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Nov 8 23:15 /lib/libc.so.6 -> /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

The same output as yours.

No yours is different mine points to i386-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so yours is /libc.so.6. did you pass the version check

yes, i thought that i take the same static library as from the test output:
