More package suggest seperate build dir (ala glibc and gcc)

two that come to mind: binutils and e2fsprogs Check if there's more to do

[markh@…]

I think binutils and e2fsprogs are the only two which recommend this. I've tested out the following instructions and they work and are ready to drop into the book in place of the existing instructions:

binutils - ch5 ============== mkdir ../binutils-build && cd ../binutils-build && ../binutils-2.11.2/configure --prefix=$LFS/usr --disable-nls && make LDFLAGS=-all-static tooldir=$LFS/usr && make tooldir=$LFS/usr install

binutils - ch6 ============== mkdir ../binutils-build && cd ../binutils-build && ../binutils-2.11.2/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared && make tooldir=/usr && make tooldir=/usr install && make tooldir=/usr install-info

e2fsprogs - ch6 =============== mkdir ../e2fsprogs-build && cd ../e2fsprogs-build && ../e2fsprogs-1.25/configure --prefix=/usr --with-root-prefix="" \

--enable-elf-shlibs &&

make && make install && make install-libs
