[Bug binutils/10376] New: configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (off_t), 77

[booleandomain at gmail dot com]

I'm trying to compile binutils-2.19.1 with gcc-4.4.0. It fails with the
following error message:

checking size of off_t... configure: error: in
`/home/booleandomain/tmp/lfs/sources/binutils-build/bfd':
configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (off_t), 77
See `config.log' for more details.
make[1]: *** [configure-bfd] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/booleandomain/tmp/lfs/sources/binutils-build'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I configured binutils as follows: --prefix=/tools --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
--host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

Looking at bfd/config.log it seems the problem is due to the fact binutils is
looking in /tools for libz.so.1 (it doesn't exist there). If I install zlib in
/tools and then try again building binutils, everything works.

I think this is a bug because binutils should look at /lib64/libz.so.1 instead.
