  89. <listitem><para>November 2nd, 2004 [jeremy]: Alexander Patrakov found that some

  91. added those 3 to the list of devices created at the start of chapter 6.</para></listitem>
  92. <listitem><para>October 17th, 2004 [jeremy]: Experimental - dropped udev from

  152. where after locking in glibc chapter 6, gcc would no longer function properly
  153. due to a missing libgcc_s library. In troubleshooting, it was found that this
  154. occured because only the .so.1 library was linked from /tools to /usr/lib at
  155. the start of chapter 6. Added a symlink of libgcc_s.so to the createfiles
  156. page in chapter 6.</para></listitem>
  157. <listitem><para>September 10th, 2004 [jeremy]: Modified the instructions to
  158. lock in glibc in Chapter 6, modifying the startfile_prefix_spec parameter in

  170. version 2.6.8.1</para></listitem>
  171. <listitem><para>September 4th, 2004 [jeremy]: Upgraded to LFS-Bootscripts-2.2.3
  172. which provides the necessary bootscript for syslog-ng. Altered the bootscripts
  173. installation to install the new bootscript.</para></listitem>

  179. glibc as well, thanks to the new tarball</para></listitem>
  180. <listitem><para>August 30th, 2004 [matt]: chapter06/util-linux.xml.
  181. -funit-at-a-time is implied by -O2, and it was this specific option that was
  182. causing the runtime problems with sfdisk. Instead of dropping to -O1
  183. optimisation, we simply prevent the problematic optimisation by
  184. specifying -fno-unit-at-a-time.</para></listitem>
  185. <listitem><para>August 30th, 2004 [matt]: chapter06/udev.xml. Renumber udev
  186. permissions and rules files to allow easier customisation. Fixes bug 887.
  187. </para></listitem>
  188. <listitem><para>August 30th, 2004 [matt]: Drop optimisation level of util-linux

  190. </listitem>

  196. <listitem><para>August 27, 2004 [jeremy]: (Experimental) Changed both chapter
  197. 5 and chapter 6 glibc to compile against sanitized headers instead of raw
  198. kernel headers - this brings us more in line with what is considered "proper",
  199. and should have minimal affect on the build itself.</para></listitem>
  200. <listitem><para>August 27, 2004 [jeremy]: (Experimental) Added -B/usr/bin flag
  201. to GCC Pass 1 to solve possible problem where the host's toolchain is
