I got error in 'make' gcc-5.3.0 package as referred in Linux from scratch

I get the following error when making gcc:

Makefile:2154: recipe for target 's-attrtab' failed
make[2]: *** [s-attrtab] Killed
make[2]: Leaving directory '/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-5.3.0/build/gcc'
Makefile:4105: recipe for target 'all-gcc' failed
make[1]: *** [all-gcc] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-5.3.0/build'
Makefile:858: recipe for target 'all' failed

I had exactly the same issue1. The reason for this error is the fact the system is running out of memory. In my case it was caused because I ran make -j 48 and these 48 jobs were too much.

Decreasing the job number to 24 fixed this problem. In other words:

  1. increase your memory or
  2. reduce the jobs using the -j make switch

The most common errors with the LFS gcc are caused by using a wrong shell. /bin/sh must be a link to bash !

If the wrong shell was used : Start from scratch with binutils.

"Askforhelp" : http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter01/askforhelp.html → 1.5.1. → the essential things to include in any request for help are → ... The host distribution and version being used to create LFS.

Please show the output from $ bash version-check.sh
