Hi there, I'm looking for the standard way to build a standalone gcc+glibc+binutils toolchain at Linux. I want to use that standalone toolchain to build a temporary system (a second toolchain of more build tools like make, autoconf, bison, etc.) and use it to finally build a new x86_64 Linux system from scratch under another x86_64 Linux system. I know about LFS but I don't like the way how it's done there. I don't like patching the official source code and making symbolic link at the root of the host Linux filesystem. I tried to do it similar to LFS and without the things I don't like but it doesn't work properly. For example running make-toolchain.sh of the attached tarball ends with strange errors like following when it tries to make a first compilation test of a trivial C code: /home/rosti/toolchain/build/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/7.2.0/../../../../x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find /home/rosti/toolchain/build/lib/libc.so.6 inside /home/rosti/toolchain/build Why it tries to find an absolute path withing another absolute path? I tried to change the --with-sysroot path and other build configurations but it only changed the error I get. For example instead of this error I had something like x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o, i.e. it tried to find that crt1.o in the current directory. So I'm stuck and I'm looking for the standard way to make a standalone gcc+glibc+binutils toolchain that will be independent from the host system. Does it exist? I've found a few other articles besides LFS about how people made such a toolchain. But they also patched the official source code and made a few other tricks. P.S. to reduce the attachment size I've removed all files from the artifacts directory in my tarball, so you need to put following files into that directory before you try running make-toolchain.sh binutils-2.29.1.tar.xz gcc-7.2.0.tar.xz glibc-2.26.tar.xz gmp-6.1.2.tar.xz isl-0.18.tar.bz2 linux-4.13.14.tar.xz mpc-1.0.3.tar.gz mpfr-3.1.6.tar.xz
