uclibc vs glibc

[Robert Connolly]

I think I have success, except that the host system is detected as -gnu 
instead of -uclibc. But otherwise its working fine {:-] I attached my 
instruction sheet. It appears as though we need to use --host/build/target on 
every package, but I'm starting to get the feeling it doesn't really matter 
excpet for packages that are patched for it. I'm interested to know what 
happens in chapter 6.

Gawk's testsuite passed. Coreutils did not... it fails strait away.

make[3]: Entering directory 
`/mnt/hlfs/sources/temp/coreutils-5.2.1/tests/basename'
-: test fail-1: stderr mismatch, comparing fail-1.1 (actual) and fail-1.E 
(expected)
*** fail-1.1    Sun Nov  7 02:02:47 2004
--- fail-1.E    Sun Nov  7 02:02:47 2004

If I run Coreutils tests with make -k I get a lot of passes, but a lot of 
failures too. Odd stuff, like no such file, and permission denied, and 
mismatches too. Coreutils doesn't leave me any .out files to look at so I'll 
shelf this for now and I'll try to get to chapter 6 (tommorrow).
