Maybe sandbox is enabled ?  Maybe sandbox *and* swap is not mounted, so it
make temp files in wierd places ? *shrug*

Comment 6 Arnaud de Villèle 2002-03-04 03:11:43 UTC

I will look into that

Stay tuned !

Just thought about it.  libtool use a tmpdir to create files for its tests ..
It is just possible that it sets $TMPDIR, and because the chroot do not
have a /root/tmp, things fails


Maybe try the following after chroot and before bootstrap:

# unset TMPDIR

Comment 9 Arnaud de Villèle 2002-05-28 03:19:46 UTC

well the swapp space was not used,
it works now.
