lfs@hydra:/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build$

I have started from "scratch" a few times with the LFS build because I made some mistakes down the road but this time I receiving the above mentioned error at Binutils-2.15.91.0.2 - Pass 1. Does someone have an idea about what I am doing wrong.

What are you using for your host environment?

My host is running Debian if that is what you want to know.
