* toolchaintechnotes: reword the reason "cc-lfs not usable on pc"Xi Ruoyao2022-10-301-5/+22
| | | | | | | | The problem is not "gcc building system doesn't know cc-lfs can run on pc", but "cc-lfs really cannot run on pc". Let's stop anyone from thinking about "why not just tell the gcc building system the fact".
* Patched up an ambiguous sentence. Thank you for pointing it out, Xi.David Bryant2022-10-301-1/+1

| | | | | Add some paragraph breaks to enhance readability. Correct English idiom here and there. Capitalize titles consistently, fix punctuation.

* libstdc++ "stage 3" is not rebuilt for the same reason as "stage 2"Xi Ruoyao2022-09-301-2/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | I'm pretty sure "stage 2" libstdc++ (installed in ch6) is already fully featured. The reason to rebuild the stage 3 libstdc++ (or entire stage 3 gcc) is same as the reason to rebuild every packages in multiple chapters: to "settle down" it. Merge the content of https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html#rebuild-ch8 into the book as an explanation.

* toolchain technical note: rewrite the descrption for tripletXi Ruoyao2022-09-301-9/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Don't say "most building system", refine the dicussion for autoconf. Other building systems may use a variant of triplet, or use a completely different system designation. - Explain why a triplet may contain 4 fields in detail. "Histroical reason" is not really correct because 3-field triplet is still used today for BSD, Fuchsia, IOS, Mac OS X (darwin), Solaris, etc. - "machine" triplet to "system" triplet (strictly speaking, only the first field in the triplet is for the machine). Why we need to say "vendor can be omitted" explicitly: we mention "gcc -dumpmachine". On some distros (like Ubuntu) the output has no vendor field. If you think this is too nasty, please remove both.

* toolchaintechnotes: update description about libstdc++Xi Ruoyao2022-09-291-5/+5
| | | | | Since r11.0-r199, libstdc++ pass 2 is built as a part of gcc pass 2, not in chroot.
* toolchaintechnotes: revert "second pass" -> "second version" changeXi Ruoyao2022-09-291-1/+1
| | | | "Pass 1" and "Pass 2" have specific meaning in LFS.
* toolchaintechnotes: add the rationale for cross compiling ch6 packagesXi Ruoyao2022-09-291-2/+3
| | | | | | | | "need to be cross compiled" alone does not make too much sense: we compile these packages in chapter 8 anyway. The real reason forcing a cross compilation is circular dependency: if building A needs B but building B needs A, we'll have to cross compile at least one of A and B or we won't be able to build either in the chroot.
* toolchaintechnotes: gcc -dumpmachine is similar to config.guess, but not sameXi Ruoyao2022-09-291-2/+3
| | | | | | | Many distros have some customized things in gcc -dumpmachine. RHEL uses x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, and Ubuntu uses x86_64-linux-gnu ("vendor" field omitted). So don't use "same" here, and also mention the "vendor" field is sometimes omitted.
* Polish up the prose in "Toolchain Technical Notes". Fix capitalization.David Bryant2022-09-281-90/+91
| | | | | Rough edges remain. For instance, $LFS_TGT-ld is referenced, but not clearly defined. Will need to discuss wirh other editors to resolve.

* toolchain note: add a disclaimer for the purpose of the bookXi Ruoyao2021-11-121-0/+9
| | | | | | There are some discussion on gcc-help from someone (mis)using LFS to build a "general" toolchain. Let's stop it before off-topic message got into lfs-support.
