Glibc 2.7 fails to build: limits.h is missing

here the log:

btw: Building on the EEEPC ;)

First, this is not the same issue as the thread you linked. Second, this ticket system is for suggesting improvements or fixes to the book, not reporting problems building it. Third, I am seeing references to /usr/lib/gcc in that output, which should not happen if you are following the book correctly. Either /tools/bin is not in the $PATH, or GCC pass 1 did not successfully install there. What is the output of "type -p gcc"?

$PATH is set correctly, but in /tools/bin gcc is missing .. I will have a look at this ...

Yes, now it's working!

Thanks for the help and sorry for the ticket.
