*	Add native GNU Binutils build notes.	P. J. McDermott	2011-12-31	1	-0/+9
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	NB: The cross-compiling EGLIBC configuration is wrong -- the Linux compatibility version (the value of '--enable-kernel') is too high for the host system. As a result, the configure script of Binutils fails because any binaries built against this temporary EGLIBC can't be run on the host system.
*	Add build cleanup and GCC specs editing notes.	P. J. McDermott	2011-12-31	1	-3/+20

*	Fix linker errors when building EGLIBC.	P. J. McDermott	2011-12-30	1	-1/+1
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	We built the cross-compiling GCC without a Stack Smashing Protector (SSP) by passing the option '--disable-libssp' to its configure script because otherwise we'd get a configure error when building GCC (as mentioned in section 5.5.1 of Linux From Scratch version 7.0 and experienced first-hand by this author). However, EGLIBC's configure script incorrectly detects support for SSP and prepares EGLIBC to be linked with SSP symbols. As a result, NSCD (EGLIBC's Name Service Cache Daemon) fails to link due to undefined references to symbol '__stack_chk_guard'. So, we need to pass 'libc_cv_ssp=no' to EGLIBC's configure script to tell it explicitly that we don't have SSP support in our build of GCC.
