[SOLVED] Sleep deprivation made me mess up my GCC install and I'm not sure how to fix it (Ch 6.21)

So basically I did a dumb.

I took a nap with my terminal open. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but I lost my spot and forgot the last command I entered (during GCC). I pressed Ctrl + R to find it (make install) and accidentally hit enter... in my panic I hit Ctrl + C. Sleep deprivation is fun. I had no errors in my install before this (aside from restarting the project completely because I ran out of storage last time). This is Chapter 6.21.

Well needless to say it's not installing properly. I get an error during make that says it can't find the size of long long... Compile goes fine. Here's the error output:

Code:

checking size of long long... configure: error: in `/sources/gcc-9.2.0/build/gcc':
configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (long long)
See `config.log' for more details
make[1]: *** [Makefile:4264: configure-gcc] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/sources/gcc-9.2.0/build'
make: *** [Makefile:956: all] Error 2

I was thinking I'd just try to restart Chapter 6 as a whole but... realized I don't know how to do that. What files would I have to remove? Or is there a way to fix my mistake?

Hi

Did you try rm -r GCC dir reuntar and build again?
if that fails you should have a backup of tools from the end of ch5 which you can use.
You can use that and start from ch6 again.
To use backup tools you unmount " dev, proc, run, sys, pts". look at ch 9.3 umount part.
Then rm everything in lfs except sources, then cp -a "backup-tools" to LFS start ch6

I ended up just restarting the whole thing and got it finished about half an hour ago. Yay me! (Remembered to back up the tools folder this time)
