I am trying to build Linux From Scratch, and now I am at chapter 5.4, which tells me how to build Binutils. I have binutils 2.20's source code, but when I try to build it:
time { ./binutils-2.20/configure --target=$LFS_TGT --prefix=/tools --disable-nls --disable-werror ; }
it gives me an error:

I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04, and reinstalled GCC and installed G++. Also, the build is done by a non-root, non-admin user called 'lfs' (which is also described in Linux From Scratch), and on a different partition than where the system is installed.
Can anyone help me? Thanks
The /tools directory didn't exist. I created it and now it compiles fine.
Try:
export CC=/usr/bin/gcc
before running configure.

I tried setting the symlink as suggested in OS X 10.9.2: checking whether the C compiler works... no :
sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/ /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.11.xctoolchain
I tried setting the CC path and install xcode as in https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/216573/cant-compile-source-code-on-mac :
export CC=clang
xcode-select --install
and accept the license. But nothing worked. Are there any new steps to consider on Sierra to get the command line tools running properly?
Start Xcode, select 'Preferences', then 'Locations'. You'll notice a dropdown control at 'Command Line Tools'. Select the newest version, close the dialog window, then call brew again. Restart your computer and run it again.
I'm learning C and want to install Valgrind on my system, however when I attempt to install Valgrin I get an error saying Valgrind is OS specific. Sorry I'm running Windows 7, with Mingw64 GIT installed. I've done some research and found this.

So I thought, well I have I Mingw64, so may I should try that, same thing. Why is throwing the exception that I don't have Mingw, and how do I fix this?
The error is saying that your OS is not supported and it found Mingw on your system which is not supported.
In general valgrind is not supported on Windows. Microsoft have their own version of glibc and their own kernel. Making a version of valgrind that can run on Windows would require a lot of porting work which no one is willing to make at the moment.
Valgrind compiled only for: {x86,amd64,arm32,arm64,ppc32,ppc64le,ppc64be,s390x,mips32,mips64}-linux, {arm32,arm64,x86,mips32}-android, {x86,amd64}-solaris and {x86,amd64}-darwin (Mac OS X 10.13
Is there a good Valgrind substitute for Windows? Read more this
You can try download Code::Blocks IDE with MinGW for Windows7 32/64 bit

This might be a silly question, actually I have just started with it.
I am following a tutorial to LCTHW
and I am trying to install valgrind, the author specifies steps:
1) Download it (use wget if you don't have curl)
curl -O http://valgrind.org/downloads/valgrind-3.6.1.tar.bz2
use md5sum to make sure it matches the one on the site
md5sum valgrind-3.6.1.tar.bz2
2) Unpack it.
tar -xjvf valgrind-3.6.1.tar.bz2
cd into the newly created directory
cd valgrind-3.6.1
3) configure it
./configure
4) make it
make
5) install it (need root)
sudo make install
I am stuck at step 4, what to make here? What should the command look like? I have made c programs before but which specific file in here do I need to specify?
This is what I get when I run make:
Blackbeard#PC-DEV-A179:~/valgrind-3.6.1$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
Edit:
As pinted out by user43250937, ./configure is not working properly, I get the following:

configure: error: Valgrind works on kernels 2.4, 2.6
I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Step 3 (configure), likely didn't complete correctly due to missing dependecies/libraries, check the output of that command.
Edit: You need a newer version of Valgrind that supports kernel 3.x, now they are at valgrind-3.10.1, that will work.
From your output:
configure: error: Valgrind works on kernels 2.4, 2.6
Did you download a ridiculously old copy of valgrind? Also, on Ubuntu, you can just
sudo apt-get install valgrind
I am currently getting the following error when attempting to get basemap-1.0.7 to work on my MAC OS v10.7.3:
error: C compiler cannot create executables
I downloaded basemap-1.0.7.tar.gz from here, and upon installation, I followed the numbered instructions in the README file:
0) Install pre-requisite python modules numpy and matplotlib.
1) Then download basemap-X.Y.Z.tar.gz (approx 100 mb) from
the sourceforge download site, unpack and cd to basemap-X.Y.Z.
2) Install the GEOS library. If you already have it on your
system, just set the environment variable GEOS_DIR to point to the location
of libgeos_c and geos_c.h (if libgeos_c is in /usr/local/lib and
geos_c.h is in /usr/local/include, set GEOS_DIR to /usr/local).
Then go to step (3). If you don't have it, you can build it from
the source code included with basemap by following these steps:
> cd geos-3.3.3
> export GEOS_DIR=<where you want the libs and headers to go>
A reasonable choice on a Unix-like system is /usr/local, or
if you don't have permission to write there, your home directory.
> ./configure --prefix=$GEOS_DIR
> make; make install
0) Done: I use anaconda, so both import numpy and import matplotlib work in an interactive session of ipython.
1) Done: basemap 1.0.7 is downloaded, unpacked, and I have changed my working directory to to Downloads/basemap-1.0.7/
2) Problem: I do not have the GEOS library. Therefore, I followed the instructions as per the README file:
cd geos-3.3.3
export GEOS_DIR=/Users/ged/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
./configure --prefix=$GEOS_DIR
The ensuing terminal output is:

The config.log file is a bit long to put it here, so I've made it available here
I have tried installing GEOS through GDAL 1.11, and I also looked into upgrading to xcode 4.6.3 but, to be honest, I feel a little out of my depth.
I'm getting the following message:
error: C compiler cannot create executables
Could you please provide some insight on how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance!

MAC OS X 10.9 comes already with a built in httpd module, to enable it open terminal and type the follow commands:
TO START:
sudo apachectl start
TO STOP:
sudo apachectl stop
TO RESTART:
sudo apachectl restart
You have downgrade your Xcode command line tools. I used the April 10 Mavericks version and it worked.
