  <title>Creating Essential Symlinks</title>

  <para os="a">Some programs use hard-wired paths to programs which do not exist
  yet. In order to satisfy these programs, create a number of symbolic
  links which will be replaced by real files throughout the course of
  the next chapter after the software has been installed.</para>

<screen><userinput>ln -sv /tools/bin/{bash,cat,echo,grep,pwd,rm,stty} ${CLFS}/bin
ln -sv /tools/bin/file ${CLFS}/usr/bin
ln -sv /tools/lib/libgcc_s.so{,.1} ${CLFS}/usr/lib
ln -sv /tools/lib/libstd*so* ${CLFS}/usr/lib
ln -sv bash ${CLFS}/bin/sh</userinput></screen>

  <para os="b">To enable some c++ tests in the glibc and binutils testsuites
  to link, create a directory and make some symbolic links:</para>

<screen><userinput>mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/usr/lib64
ln -sv /tools/lib/libstd*so* ${CLFS}/usr/lib64</userinput></screen>
