Hello!

I am a novice in Linux, so I'd like to understand, how it works

and I started compile projects, follow by linuxfromscratch recommendations

But I do it not in clear system, - on my Linux Mint

//---------------------------------------------------------------

to build binutils - is very simple ! (according to www.linuxfromscratch.org)

but there were so many errors and warnings ...

I don't understand, what is a reason I cannot build this project - 
according different sites, it is easy!


so I decided to compile binutils step-by-step - and not statically, but 
make shared libraries

I have wrote a bash script about 150 lines (initially it was up to 600!) 
to automatically download, extract, and *prepare for compiling* binutils 
tar.gz archive.


For next step I am to build gdb server and gcc compiler

and now I see directories libiberty, gold, libdecimal with the same 
names I saw in bunutils


Could you explain me, these projects have the same components?

why not to build binutils components as shared libraries and install 
them to /lib directory to use in future?
