LFS 7.1 - 5.4. Binutils-2.22 - Pass 1 on x86_64

[Jussi Kuosa]

I'm doing my first pass on 64bit debian 6 VM and I ran across a minor problem in section 5.4. Binutils-2.22 - Pass 1. The code snippet in the x86_64 note tries to create /tools/lib, but it has already been created during libiberty installation:

make[2]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build/libiberty' make[3]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build/libiberty/testsuite' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build/libiberty/testsuite' /bin/sh ../../binutils-2.22/libiberty/../mkinstalldirs /tools/lib/gcc -g -O2 -print-multi-os-directory mkdir -p -- /tools/lib/../lib /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./libiberty.a /tools/lib/gcc -g -O2 -print-multi-os-directory/./libiberty.an

Therefore, the proposed case $(uname -m) in

x86_64) mkdir -v /tools/lib && ln -sv lib /tools/lib64 ;;

esac code fails with mkdir: cannot create directory `/tools/lib': File exists and the symlink from /tools/lib64' -> lib' has to be done manually by re-running ln -sv lib /tools/lib64.

NOTE: 7.1 is missing from Trac Version field value list.

The 7.1 errata is empty and I couldn't find anything related to this in the mailing list archive.

Blah, I had built binutils in one go to get the SBU and that caused the folder to exist already:

time { ../binutils-2.22/configure --target=$LFS_TGT --prefix=/tools --disable-nls --disable-werror && make && make install; }

Feel free to close this immediately as a RTM error.
