Description
The posted wget-list at the time of this ticket has the following URL for fetching the binutils source.
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.21.tar.bz2
The available source tarballs on ftp.gnu.org are as follows.
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.21.1.tar.bz2 http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.21.1a.tar.bz2 http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.21.1a.tar.bz2.sig
Binutils is the first package you are instructed to build (chapter 5), and it was rather confusing not having it there after using the wget-list to fetch all the packages.

Looking at the URLs for the LFS custom patches in the "stable" wget-list, it looks like the version 6.8 wget-list is linked, not the 7.0 wget-list.
Until this is resolved, a workaround is to use the following wget-list.

Are you sure your browser hasn't cached the old wget-list? If I go to http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter03/introduction.html and click on the wget-list link, I am taken to http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/wget-list which mentions binutils-2.21.1a. Can you do a forced refresh on http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/wget-list and see if you get the updated version please?

This should be addressed in lfs-support. The current wget-list is correct.

The cache was the problem. I started this yesterday (10/29/2001), and it looks like I straddled the release of 7.0 in just the wrong place. As I page through the stable documentation, I see earlier pages that I accessed yesterday as 6.8 and later pages as 7.0.
Looking at wget-list, there are two different versions linked from the LFS documentation. The version in question that is out of date is the "stable" version.
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/wget-list
The stable wget-list has a URL for gcc 4.5.2, but the documentation refers to gcc 4.6.1. The patch "gcc-4.6.1-cross_compile-1.patch" is also missing from the stable wget-list.
This seems like a rather large error.
