yes! (installed by glibc)

native

kernel 2.6.24 (lfs, february 08)



i never bevor had to add -Dusedl to get dynamic libraries.
the failure in test with dynaloader seem to make the same strange 
assumptions about my system as configure.

the steps in the book produce a failure on 3 out of 3 runs. after 
posting here i got a hint from gilles:

sed -i -e "@libs\s*=@libs = -lm@" Makefile
now i had 5 out of 5 runs with success, but static. the rest of chapter 
6 was fine, kernel too, and the system booted

the best result i got with the seds as posted. bash scripts are fun: 
last night i had 60 runs, 16 with success, 44 failures (i stopped after 
make, i don't know wether all 16 successes had the 3 failures in the test).



thanks for your help
