Chapter 5 text fixes

[Chris Staub]

Here is a patch to address a number of issues with the text in Chapter 5. These are:

1. Chapter 6 ncurses instructions mention its testsuite, but Chapter 5 instructions say it has none.

2. The "bootstrap" make targe for GCC is no longer used at all (since that's now the default) so the text about the "bootstrap" target not being used in Pass 2 is not valid.

3. GCC's specs patch has been replaced with a for loop/sed commands in the Pass 2 instructions, but the "Technical Notes" page still mentions the specs patch.

4. I don't like the wording in Coreutils instructions referring to installing "su" ("because it cannot install it" doesn't sound right) though I guess this is debatable.

5. Glibc instructions say not to bother with the testsuite since no c++ compiler has been installed yet. DejaGNU's testsuite also uses c++, so I believe its instructions should say the same thing.

Chapter 5 updates

Got a couple more...

6. The Util-Linux-ng instructions say that the "libuuid.so" file is not found unless a flag is passed to make. Actually, as the E2fsprogs instructions in Chapter 5 only install its static libs, this should be "libuuid.a".

7. The "Stripping" page says that the 2nd strip command will "skip some twenty files". However, the 1st strip command also skips a few (mostly .la files), and the number of skipped files is well over twenty (I counted 37 in /tools/{s,}bin, plus some in /tools/lib).

Replying to willimm:

Is this for 6.4?

If it is, put it there!

You just enjoy plastering your name over every single ticket, don't you?

Me too. I just removed all changes made to all tickets made by willimm. Since it is a one liner, I can remove comments a lot faster than he can make them.

Applied the patch. Thanks Chris.
