System crashed during glibc compile, refuses to compile again even after remaking build directory


I am chrooted into the temporary system (/tools). During the compile of glibc (step 6.9 of LFS), my computer unexpectedly shut down. After booting back up, remaking the build directory, running configure and make, it fails. Here is the log:

It seems like limits.h doesn't exist, but I checked, and it does indeed exist.

root:/usr/include/linux# ls | grep "limits.h"
limits.h

EDIT: I catted limits.h and noticed that LONG_MAX indeed was not included in the file. Here is the file:

#ifndef _LINUX_LIMITS_H

Solution

  • #ifndef _LINUX_LIMITS_H

    This is include/linux/limits.h. The LONG_MAX is supposed to come from include/limits.h, which is a different file.

    It's likely that your sources got corrupted after unclean shutdown. You should restore them from a pristine copy.
