The Findutils package is quite old and it has problems compiling against newer Glibc versions (Glibc-2.0.x and up). You need to apply the patch that fixes some variable conflicts you'd otherwise end up with: patch -Np1 -i ../findutils-&findutils-patch-version;.patch Install Findutils by running the following: CPPFLAGS="-Dre_max_failures=re_max_failures2" \     LDFLAGS="-static" ./configure --prefix=$LFS/static make make install
