configure: exit 1
It says gcc was not found in /tools/bin, but it is there, both gcc and cc are:
Code:
(lfs chroot) root:/tools/bin# ls /tools/bin/gcc
/tools/bin/gcc
(lfs chroot) root:/tools/bin# ls /tools/bin/cc
/tools/bin/cc
It says it can't find /tools/bin/gcc which is decidedly weird. This is the 2nd-pass gcc which you have been using up till now to build everything. The only difference is that previously you were accessing /tools through a symlink from the host system, whereas now you are in chroot and should be accessing it directly.
I wonder if the missing file is one of gcc's libraries. There are a couple that you have to make symlinks to in order for gcc to find them when running in chroot. Check in section 6.6 and make sure that the specified links are there.
I've just checked and you do need to create some extra symlinks before building glibc. See chapter 6.9. There are two links and I think they are different from the one you created.
