i tried it this weekend, and i thought everything was going fine. i had a couple hiccups with the symlinks on lex/flex, but it seemed ok. then i compiled all the LFS packages, including glibc (twice) and gcc. but when i switched chroot to get rid of the programs in static, gcc broke. i could no longer compile executables. and for some reason ncurses disappeared. has anyone finished it? did you like the results? this is mainly an experiment to figure linux out and see how much i can mess with the filesystem, config scripts, etc

also, if i switch back to the original compilation settings (as in, /static with the statically linked binaries), gcc says i'm in obsolete mode when it never did before. what gives? any help would be appreciated
