Description
At the very top of the page it says "Unpack ... in the glibc-2.2.1 directory". As far as I can tell this directory doesn't exsist in $LFS. If it does, a better discription of it's location should be given.
I created my own directory called glibc-2.2.1 and tried to continue. When I extracted the archive, it only created two sub-directories called "linuxthreads" and "linuxthreads_db". Yet, if you look at line 6 of the code that should be typed you will see reference to a subdirectory "malloc" and on line 8 you will see reference to a subdirectory "login"
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
This is not a bug, you are supposed to unpack glibc-2.2.* before installing as you did with all other packages and as it is described in Chapter 2 "How to install the software" - you won't get an extra note for that.
glibc-linuxthreads is additional module for glibc that needs to be unpacked in the above created (after glibc was unpacked) directory.
You will also find the malloc and login-directory in glibc-2.2.*
