The thread on lfs-dev that deals with this begins at . I bootstrapped LFS with the following symlinks: 1) /bin/sh -> /bin/dash 2) /usr/bin/awk -> /usr/bin/mawk 3) /usr/bin/yacc -> /usr/bin/byacc The awk symlink required me to patch glibc-2.7 (already fixed upstream) because a Makefile did not use ${AWK}. The patch is available at but should be replaced with a sed. The book should revert the text that says that the above symlinks are required to point to bash, gawk and bison respectively." defect closed normal 6.4 Book SVN normal fixed
