Error During Section 5.9 Binutils-2.22 - Pass 2

After running the following commands per the guide...

CC="$LFS_TGT-gcc -B/tools/lib/" \
AR=$LFS_TGT-ar RANLIB=$LFS_TGT-ranlib \
../binutils-2.22/configure --prefix=/tools \
--disable-nls --with-lib-path=/tools/lib


From the binutils-build folder in the sources folder I get the following error
message:

checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.

Any ideas on what could be causing this issue or ideas where to start looking.
Last lines from the config.log aren't to helpful:

 All sorts of things, you need the error messages from the program
fragment which failed.  It looks as if you've got the right
config.log (it reports exit 1, which sounds like a failure) -
binutils (and other some large packages) can have multiple
config.log files, depending on how far it got.

 Try looking a little above the part of the log that you posted.
Search for 'cannot run C compiled programs' - use vim/view/less to
make searching easy [ /cannot\ run\ C ] then look at the lines just
above that for other error messages - might be missing object files,
or something causing it to be treated as an invalid architecture, or
(unlikely, but I've managed it :) invalid CFLAGS, or possibly
something related to the host distro.

Ther first think I'd want to know is what is the value of $LFS_TGT and 
$PATH.   What are the contents of /tools/bin and /tools/lib?

Hi Lance,

What is your host system?

This error can be reproduced using e.g. the latest lfs live cd with lfs version 6.3. Seems to me that your host system is to old, especially kernel is older than 2.6.25.

regards
Kai

Host system is OpenSuse 12.1  Kernel 3.1.0-1.2-desktop x86_64. And I'm using LFS 7.1

 We often get annoyed at people who top post, please don't.

 Any developments in the light of the replies from Bruce and me on
Wednesday to your original post ?
