%general-entities; ]> Coreutils temporary system Coreutils has an issue where UTILS_OPEN_MAX does not get defined when cross-compiling. So we define it: echo "utils_cv_sys_open_max=1024" >> config.cache Prepare Coreutils for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/tools --cache-file=config.cache \ --build=${LFS_HOST} --host=${LFS_TARGET} --cache-file=config.cache This tells configure to use a config.cache file that we specify. Compile the package: make Install the package: make install
