Hello Ralf, You are right, it seems that expr is broken. Here is the result of the command you advised : root:/# expr 426 + 1 Illegal instruction I don't know why I didn't have the problem sooner though, as in LFS, once a package is built it is used in the following steps... So I suppose I should have had the problem with expr after building coreutils in chapter 6. Anyway, no problem, I understood your instructions ;-) And yes, I carefully built every LFS package with the recommended patches... Will have to rebuild coreutils then and see if it works... Again, thanks for your help !
