Description
I was following the bouncing ball in building an LFS system from a LFS-CD host system. In binutils2.20 when I went to run configure as user lfs, It bailed with a message about C compiler can't create executable which was related to can't find 'ld'
There was no problem when running as root. from the shell I could type ld, and ld was found.
Problem turns out to be two-fold:
the PATH variable had in it /usr/gnu/bin,
which is a non-existent folder. While bash has no problem, gcc, and/or make seem to have a cow with that non-existent folder and use that as a lame excuse to bail with an error rather than continuing the search for ld through the path

sorry, not before but right after, I'd suggest you revise chapter 4.4 - Setting Up the Environment.

Doh! thanks for the heads up
I thought I was being careful, but you're right I missed the .bashrc stuff

did you followed ALL the instructions in the book prior to the execution of the 'su - lfs' command? sounds like you have skipped something in the process.
