-<title>Introduction</title>

-
-<para>In this chapter we will compile and install a minimal
-Linux system. This system will contain just enough tools to be able
-to start constructing the final LFS system in the next chapter.</para>
-
-<para>The building of this minimal system is done in two steps: first we
-build a brand-new and host-independent toolchain (compiler, assembler,
-linker and libraries), and then use this to build all the other essential
-tools.</para>
-
-<para>The files compiled in this chapter will be installed under the
-<filename class="directory">$LFS/tools</filename> directory
-to keep them separate from the files installed in the next chapter.
-Since the packages compiled here are merely temporary, we don't want
-them to pollute the soon-to-be LFS system.</para>
-
-<para>Before issuing the build instructions for a package you are expected to
-have already unpacked it as user <emphasis>lfs</emphasis>, and to have
-performed a <userinput>cd</userinput> into the created directory. The build
-instructions assume that you are using the <command>bash</command>
-shell.</para>
-
-<para>Several of the packages are patched before compilation, but only when
-the patch is needed to circumvent a problem. Often the patch is needed in
-both this and the next chapter, but sometimes in only one of them. Therefore,
-don't worry when instructions for a downloaded patch seem to be missing. Also,
-when applying a patch, you'll occasionally see warning messages about
-<emphasis>offset</emphasis> or <emphasis>fuzz</emphasis>. These warnings are
-nothing to worry about, as the patch was still successfully applied.</para>
-
-<para>During the compilation of most packages you will see many warnings
-scroll by on your screen. These are normal and can safely be ignored. They are
-just what they say they are: warnings -- mostly about deprecated, but not
-invalid, use of the C or C++ syntax. It's just that C standards have changed
-rather often and some packages still use the older standard, which is not
-really a problem.</para>
-
-<para>After installing each package you should delete its source and build
-directories, <emphasis>unless</emphasis> told otherwise. Deleting the sources
-saves space, but also prevents misconfiguration when the same package is
-reinstalled further on. Only for three packages you will need to keep the
-source and build directories around for a while, so their contents can be used
-by later commands. Do not miss the reminders.</para>

-<title>Technical notes</title>
-<?dbhtml filename="technicalnotes.html" dir="chapter05"?>
-
-<para>This section attempts to explain some of the rationale and technical
-details behind the overall build method. It's not essential that you understand
-everything here immediately. Most of it will make sense once you have performed
-an actual build. Feel free to refer back here at any time.</para>
-
-<para>The overall goal of <xref linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/> is to provide a sane,
-temporary environment that we can chroot into, and from which we can produce a
-clean, trouble-free build of the target LFS system in
-<xref linkend="chapter-building-system"/>. Along the way, we attempt to divorce ourselves
-from the host system as much as possible, and in so doing build a
-self-contained and self-hosted toolchain. It should be noted that the
-build process has been designed in such a way so as to minimize the risks for
-new readers and provide maximum educational value at the same time. In other
-words, more advanced techniques could be used to build the system.</para>
-
-<important>
-<para>Before continuing, you really should be aware of the name of your working
-platform, often also referred to as the <emphasis>target triplet</emphasis>. For
-many folks the target triplet will probably be
-<emphasis>i686-pc-linux-gnu</emphasis>. A simple way to determine your target
-triplet is to run the <filename>config.guess</filename> script that comes with
-the source for many packages. Unpack the Binutils sources and run the script:
-<userinput>./config.guess</userinput> and note the output.</para>
-
-<para>You'll also need to be aware of the name of your platform's
-<emphasis>dynamic linker</emphasis>, often also referred to as the
-<emphasis>dynamic loader</emphasis>, not to be confused with the standard linker
-<emphasis>ld</emphasis> that is part of Binutils. The dynamic linker is provided
-by Glibc and has the job of finding and loading the shared libraries needed by a
-program, preparing the program to run and then running it. For most folks the
-name of the dynamic linker will be <emphasis>ld-linux.so.2</emphasis>. On
-platforms that are less prevalent, the name might be
-<emphasis>ld.so.1</emphasis> and newer 64 bit platforms might even have
-something completely different. You should be able to determine the name
-of your platform's dynamic linker by looking in the
-<filename class="directory">/lib</filename> directory on your host system. A
-surefire way is to inspect a random binary from your host system by running:
-<userinput>readelf -l &lt;name of binary&gt; | grep interpreter</userinput>
-and noting the output. The authoritative reference covering all platforms is in
-the <filename>shlib-versions</filename> file in the root of the Glibc source
-tree.</para>
-</important>
-
-<para>Some key technical points of how the <xref linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/> build
-method works:</para>
-
-<itemizedlist>
-<listitem><para>Similar in principle to cross compiling whereby tools installed
-into the same prefix work in cooperation and thus utilize a little GNU
-"magic".</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>Careful manipulation of the standard linker's library search
-path to ensure programs are linked only against libraries we
-choose.</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>Careful manipulation of <command>gcc</command>'s
-<emphasis>specs</emphasis> file to tell the compiler which target dynamic
-linker will be used.</para></listitem>
-</itemizedlist>
-
-<para>Binutils is installed first because both GCC and Glibc perform various
-feature tests on the assembler and linker during their respective runs of
-<command>./configure</command> to determine which software features to enable
-or disable. This is more important than one might first realize. An incorrectly
-configured GCC or Glibc can result in a subtly broken toolchain where the impact
-of such breakage might not show up until near the end of the build of a whole
-distribution. Thankfully, a test suite failure will usually alert us before too
-much time is wasted.</para>
-
-<para>Binutils installs its assembler and linker into two locations,
-<filename class="directory">/tools/bin</filename> and
-<filename class="directory">/tools/$TARGET_TRIPLET/bin</filename>. In reality,
-the tools in one location are hard linked to the other. An important facet of
-the linker is its library search order. Detailed information can be obtained
-from <command>ld</command> by passing it the <emphasis>--verbose</emphasis>
-flag. For example: <command>ld --verbose | grep SEARCH</command> will
-show you the current search paths and their order. You can see what files are
-actually linked by <command>ld</command> by compiling a dummy program and
-passing the <emphasis>--verbose</emphasis> switch to the linker. For example:
-<command>gcc dummy.c -Wl,--verbose 2>&amp;1 | grep succeeded</command>
-will show you all the files successfully opened during the linking.</para>
-
-<para>The next package installed is GCC and during its run of
-<command>./configure</command> you'll see, for example:</para>
-
-<blockquote><screen>checking what assembler to use... /tools/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/as
-checking what linker to use... /tools/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld</screen></blockquote>
-
-<para>This is important for the reasons mentioned above. It also demonstrates
-that GCC's configure script does not search the PATH directories to find which
-tools to use. However, during the actual operation of <command>gcc</command>
-itself, the same search paths are not necessarily used. You can find out which
-standard linker <command>gcc</command> will use by running:
-<command>gcc -print-prog-name=ld</command>.
-Detailed information can be obtained from <command>gcc</command> by passing
-it the <emphasis>-v</emphasis> flag while compiling a dummy program. For
-example: <command>gcc -v dummy.c</command> will show you detailed
-information about the preprocessor, compilation and assembly stages, including
-<command>gcc</command>'s include search paths and their order.</para>
- 
-<para>The next package installed is Glibc. The most important considerations for
-building Glibc are the compiler, binary tools and kernel headers. The compiler
-is generally no problem as Glibc will always use the <command>gcc</command>
-found in a PATH directory. The binary tools and kernel headers can be a little
-more troublesome. Therefore we take no risks and use the available configure
-switches to enforce the correct selections. After the run of
-<command>./configure</command> you can check the contents of the
-<filename>config.make</filename> file in the
-<filename class="directory">glibc-build</filename> directory for all the
-important details. You'll note some interesting items like the use of
-<emphasis>CC="gcc -B/tools/bin/"</emphasis> to control which binary tools are
-used, and also the use of the <emphasis>-nostdinc</emphasis> and
-<emphasis>-isystem</emphasis> flags to control the compiler's include search
-path. These items help to highlight an important aspect of the Glibc package:
-it is very self-sufficient in terms of its build machinery and generally does
-not rely on toolchain defaults.</para>
-
-<para>After the Glibc installation, we make some adjustments to ensure that
-searching and linking take place only within our <filename>/tools</filename>
-prefix. We install an adjusted <command>ld</command>, which has a hard-wired
-search path limited to <filename class="directory">/tools/lib</filename>. Then
-we amend <command>gcc</command>'s specs file to point to our new dynamic
-linker in <filename class="directory">/tools/lib</filename>. This last step is
-<emphasis>vital</emphasis> to the whole process. As mentioned above, a
-hard-wired path to a dynamic linker is embedded into every ELF shared
-executable. You can inspect this by running:
-<command>readelf -l &lt;name of binary&gt; | grep interpreter</command>.
-By amending <command>gcc</command>'s specs file, we are ensuring that every
-program compiled from here through the end of this chapter will use our new
-dynamic linker in <filename class="directory">/tools/lib</filename>.</para>
-
-<para>The need to use the new dynamic linker is also the reason why we apply the
-Specs patch for the second pass of GCC. Failure to do so will result in the GCC
-programs themselves having the name of the dynamic linker from the host system's
-<filename class="directory">/lib</filename> directory embedded into them, which
-would defeat our goal of getting away from the host.</para>
-
-<para>During the second pass of Binutils, we are able to utilize the
-<emphasis>--with-lib-path</emphasis> configure switch to control
-<command>ld</command>'s library search path. From this point onwards, the
-core toolchain is self-contained and self-hosted. The remainder of the
-<xref linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/> packages all build against the new Glibc in
-<filename class="directory">/tools</filename> and all is well.</para>
-
-<para>Upon entering the chroot environment in <xref linkend="chapter-building-system"/>, the
-first major package we install is Glibc, due to its self-sufficient nature that
-we mentioned above. Once this Glibc is installed into
-<filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, we perform a quick changeover of
-the toolchain defaults, then proceed for real in building the rest of the
-target LFS system.</para>

-<title>Notes on static linking</title>
-<?dbhtml filename="aboutlinking.html" dir="chapter05"?>
-
-<para>Most programs have to perform, beside their specific task, many rather
-common and sometimes trivial operations. These include allocating memory,
-searching directories, reading and writing files, string handling, pattern
-matching, arithmetic and many other tasks. Instead of obliging each program to
-reinvent the wheel, the GNU system provides all these basic functions in
-ready-made libraries. The major library on any Linux system is
-<emphasis>Glibc</emphasis>.</para>
-
-<para>There are two primary ways of linking the functions from a library to a
-program that uses them: statically or dynamically. When a program is linked
-statically, the code of the used functions is included in the executable,
-resulting in a rather bulky program. When a program is dynamically linked, what
-is included is a reference to the dynamic linker, the name of the library, and
-the name of the function, resulting in a much smaller executable. (A third way
-is to use the programming interface of the dynamic linker. See the
-<emphasis>dlopen</emphasis> man page for more information.)</para>
-
-<para>Dynamic linking is the default on Linux and has three major advantages
-over static linking. First, you need only one copy of the executable library
-code on your hard disk, instead of having many copies of the same code included
-into a whole bunch of programs -- thus saving disk space. Second, when several
-programs use the same library function at the same time, only one copy of the
-function's code is required in core -- thus saving memory space. Third, when a
-library function gets a bug fixed or is otherwise improved, you only need to
-recompile this one library, instead of having to recompile all the programs that
-make use of the improved function.</para>
-
-<para>If dynamic linking has several advantages, why then do we statically link
-the first two packages in this chapter? The reasons are threefold: historical,
-educational, and technical. Historical, because earlier versions of LFS
-statically linked every program in this chapter. Educational, because knowing
-the difference is useful. Technical, because we gain an element of independence
-from the host in doing so, meaning that those programs can be used
-independently of the host system. However, it's worth noting that an overall
-successful LFS build can still be achieved when the first two packages are
-built dynamically.</para>

-<title>Adjusting the toolchain</title>
-<?dbhtml filename="adjusting.html" dir="chapter05"?>
-
-<para>Now that the temporary C libraries have been installed, we want all
-the tools compiled in the rest of this chapter to be linked against these
-libraries. To accomplish this, we need to adjust the linker and the compiler's
-specs file. Some people would say that it is <emphasis>"black magic juju below
-this line"</emphasis>, but it is really very simple.</para>
-
-<para>First install the adjusted linker (adjusted at the end of the first pass
-of Binutils) by running the following command from within
-the <filename class="directory">binutils-build</filename> directory:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>make -C ld install</userinput></screen>
-
-<para>From this point onwards everything will link <emphasis>only</emphasis>
-against the libraries in <filename>/tools/lib</filename>.</para>
-
-<note><para>If you somehow missed the earlier warning to retain the Binutils
-source and build directories from the first pass or otherwise accidentally
-deleted them or just don't have access to them, don't worry, all is not lost.
-Just ignore the above command. The result is a small chance of the subsequent
-testing programs linking against libraries on the host. This is not ideal, but
-it's not a major problem. The situation is corrected when we install the
-second pass of Binutils a bit further on.</para></note>
-
-<para>Now that the adjusted linker is installed, you have to
-<emphasis>remove</emphasis> the Binutils build and source directories.</para>
-
-<para>The next thing to do is to amend our GCC specs file so that it points
-to the new dynamic linker. A simple sed will accomplish this:</para>
-
-<!-- Ampersands are needed to allow cut and paste -->
-
-<screen><userinput>SPECFILE=/tools/lib/gcc-lib/*/*/specs &amp;&amp;
-sed -e 's@ /lib/ld-linux.so.2@ /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2@g' \
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$SPECFILE &gt; tempspecfile &amp;&amp;
-mv -f tempspecfile $SPECFILE &amp;&amp;
-unset SPECFILE</userinput></screen>
-
-<para>We recommend that you cut-and-paste the above rather than try and type it
-all in. Or you can edit the specs file by hand if you want to: just replace the
-occurrence of "/lib/ld-linux.so.2" with "/tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2". Be sure to
-visually inspect the specs file to verify the intended change was actually
-made.</para>
-
-<important><para>If you are working on a platform where the name of the dynamic
-linker is something other than <filename>ld-linux.so.2</filename>, you
-<emphasis>must</emphasis> substitute <filename>ld-linux.so.2</filename> with the
-name of your platform's dynamic linker in the above commands. Refer back to
-<xref linkend="tools-technicalnotes"/> if necessary.</para></important>
-
-<para>Lastly, there is a possibility that some include files from the host
-system have found their way into GCC's private include dir. This can happen
-because of GCC's "fixincludes" process which runs as part of the GCC build.
-We'll explain more about this further on in this chapter. For now, run the
-following commands to eliminate this possibility:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>rm -f /tools/lib/gcc-lib/*/*/include/{pthread.h,bits/sigthread.h}</userinput></screen>
-
-<!-- HACK - Force some whitespace to appease tidy -->
-<literallayout></literallayout>
-
-<caution><para>It is imperative at this point to stop and ensure that the basic
-functions (compiling and linking) of the new toolchain are working as expected.
-For this we are going to perform a simple sanity check:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>echo 'main(){}' &gt; dummy.c
-cc dummy.c
-readelf -l a.out | grep ': /tools'</userinput></screen>
-
-<para>If everything is working correctly, there should be no errors, and the
-output of the last command will be (allowing for platform specific differences
-in dynamic linker name):</para>
-
-<blockquote><screen>[Requesting program interpreter: /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2]</screen></blockquote>
-
-<para>Note especially that <filename class="directory">/tools/lib</filename>
-appears as the prefix of our dynamic linker.</para>
-
-<para>If you did not receive the output
-as shown above, or received no output at all, then something is seriously wrong.
-You will need to investigate and retrace your steps to find out where the
-problem is and correct it. There is no point in continuing until this is done.
-First, redo the sanity check using <command>gcc</command> instead of
-<command>cc</command>. If this works it means the
-<filename class="symlink">/tools/bin/cc</filename> symlink is missing. Revisit
-<xref linkend="ch-tools-gcc-pass1"/> and fix the symlink. Second, ensure your PATH
-is correct. You can check this by running <userinput>echo $PATH</userinput> and
-verifying that <filename class="directory">/tools/bin</filename> is at the head
-of the list. If the PATH is wrong it could mean you're not logged in as user
-<emphasis>lfs</emphasis> or something went wrong back in <xref
-linkend="prepare-settingenvironment"/>. Third, something may have gone wrong
-with the specs file amendment above. In this case redo the specs file amendment
-ensuring to cut-and-paste the commands as was recommended.</para>
-
-<para>Once you are satisfied that all is well, clean up the test files:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>rm dummy.c a.out</userinput></screen>
-</caution>

-<!-- HACK - Force some whitespace to appease tidy -->

-<para>The steps in this section are optional, but if your LFS partition is
-rather small, you will be glad to learn that you can remove some unnecessary
-things. The executables and libraries you have built so far contain about 130
-MB of unneeded debugging symbols. Remove those symbols with:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>strip --strip-debug /tools/lib/*
-strip --strip-unneeded /tools/{,s}bin/*</userinput></screen>
-
-<para>The last of the above commands will skip some twenty files, reporting
-that it doesn't recognize their file format. Most of them are scripts instead
-of binaries.</para>
-
-<para>Take care <emphasis>not</emphasis> to use
-<emphasis>--strip-unneeded</emphasis> on the libraries -- the static ones
-would be destroyed and you would have to build the three toolchain packages
-all over again.</para>
-
-<para>To save another 30 MB, you can remove all the documentation:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>rm -rf /tools/{doc,info,man}</userinput></screen>
-
-<para>You will now need to have at least 850 MB of free space on your LFS
-file system to be able to build and install Glibc in the next phase. If you can
-build and install Glibc, you can build and install the rest too.</para>
