Description
When I built Binutils Pass 2 (I was using Binutils 2.15.91.0.2) LD exited with the error message: cannot find -lfl. I found out that LFL refered to the libfl, part of the Flex package. If I build/install Flex before building Binutils Pass 2, everything works fine. In the book you should move 5.32 Flex before 5.14. Binutils-2.15.91.0.2 - Pass 2.

I was using the included CD that I downloaded off the LFS site. The problem was easily fixed by building Flex first. I can't reproduce the error message because I've nearly finished building the system (it was like: LD [filenames] -lfl) sorry if I wasn't any help there.

Well, if it failed in pass 2, then one would imagine it should have failed in pass 2 too. Flex is listed as a dependency in pass 1, hence is required to be installed on the host prior to building LFS. This may be a bug on the LiveCD, though it's development is fairly rapid so may have been fixed already.
Verify that your host distro has libfl.a in a lib directory. Also tell us what distro you were using to build your LFS. Send in a complete error, for us to validate, (the actual error message)
