Not sure if I'll go past just LFS or not. When you refer to the build
environment are you talking about the tools to build the toolchain or the
later? I pretty much shortcut the piece of checking for the build
tools/versions to build the toolchain. The box I'm running it on is fairly
current but not bleeding edge on anything. Everything built and tested
(toolchain wise that is) with the expected errors.
Everything built so far in the chroot environment has went very smooth. The
only exception has been PEBKACK related to typos. Actually managed to lose
"ls" when moving ld to ld-old. Wasn't hard to track down just rather a pain
without ls in the chroot.
