Description
As there has been activity in Net-Tools CVS recently, we should consider using a CVS snapshot for BLFS. All the GCC problems that require patches are fixed along with some security fixes.
Marking this future but might have to get in the book if the 1.60 version won't compile. I've been using CVS snapshots for quite a while now.

I had no issues compiling net-tools under 4.4.1. It clearly works properly as I use it to bring up my network with a static ip.

I just tried to compile net-tools again and was met with the error: `cc -Llib -o hostname hostname.o -ldnet
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldnet'
Answering no to DEC net in `make config' solves this, and so this is a result of saying yes to everything. We may need to expand the page a little to include the actual kernel options you'll need for it to work. At the moment it's a bit ambiguous.

Attached a current CVS tarball and configuration files I use. Built fine against current LFS SVN. I copy the config files into the source directory and build. Works for me. I suppose if you need DECnet or ARCnet or some other (apple) network types, you'd have to go through the config process, or edit the files I attached.

Updated to net-tools-CVS_20101030.tar.gz with the source tarball on anduin.
Just an update:
There's been activity in the last couple of weeks on the Net-Tools project at Berlios. If it fails to compile using GCC-4.4.1, we'll need to pull a snapshot of CVS for sure.
