Linux from Scratch 5.7.2 Toolchain sanity check - linux

Question

I started the Project "Linux from Scratch" some time ago. First I started with Ubuntu 15.10 64bit and did everything according to the PDF-File. By the Check in paragraph 5.7.2, it didn't worked. Afterwards I started all over again, with CentOS 7.2 but it works neither.In both attempts i got no Errors while compiling and installing the previous packages.
Input:
echo 'int main(){}' > dummy.c
$LFS_TGT-gcc dummy.c
Output:
/mnt/lfs/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu/5.3.0/../../../../x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Input:
readelf -l a.out | grep ': /tools'
Output:
readelf: Error: 'a.out': No such file
I found no solution that worked in StackOverFlow or different platforms.

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

This error occurs when you've not installed the Binutils package properly. ld is provided by the binutils pacakage.
Please adhere to the steps provided in the book becuase if you deviate even a little it'll cause such errors.
