GCC 5.1.0 fails to compile following the LFS guide — pass 2; linking errors?

Question

I'm trying to follow the LFS guide for compiling the GCC 5.1 with binutils 5.25 and glibc 2.21 and the process fails when reaching the "gcc pass 2" step giving me the error:

ld: /tools/lib/../lib64/libstdc++.a(new_opv.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `_ZTISt9bad_alloc' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/tools/lib/../lib64/libstdc++.a: error adding symbols: Bad value

I've tried giving the -fPIC option but it doesn't help.

My configure options are the following:

CC=$LFS_TGT-gcc
CXX=$LFS_TGT-g++
AR=$LFS_TGT-ar
RANLIB=$LFS_TGT-ranlib
../gcc-5.1.0/configure \
--prefix=/tools \
--with-local-prefix=/tools \
--with-native-system-header-dir=/tools/include \
--enable-languages=c,c++ \
--disable-libstdcxx-pch \
--disable-multilib \
--disable-bootstrap \
--disable-libgomp

The whole error message is:

In case it helps, the LFS* variables are these:

LFS=/home/system/peal/system/system/toolchain
LFS_TGT=x86_64-peal-linux-gnu

My build server is based on Ubuntu 16.04 (gcc 5.3) daily updated.

Here are some more details about the toolchain:

Any ideas?

Thank you!

I've found the problem(s):

• as Munir staded, I had sh pointing to dash instead of bash;
• after that, gcc failed to compile because of the missing rpc/xdr.h header; this was fixed by rebuilding the glibc by adding the flag: --enable-obsolete-rpc;

All is fine now.
