Hello PLUG!
Well, I am in section 6.52 and the check doesn't check. Here is what it
says. I get the same two fails twice:

  root:/sources/kmod-16# tail check.fail
  Making check in .
    CCLD     libkmod/libkmod.la
  Makefile:1041: recipe for target 'libkmod/libkmod.la' failed
  Makefile:1520: recipe for target 'check-recursive' failed
  Making check in .
    CCLD     libkmod/libkmod.la
  Makefile:1041: recipe for target 'libkmod/libkmod.la' failed
  Makefile:1520: recipe for target 'check-recursive' failed

I redirect the output of check to a file so I have it. I asked the lfs
support list (message below); however I haven't gotten any help with this
issue since I post the message to their board 25.5 hours ago. I googled:

  "Makefile:1041: recipe for target 'libkmod/libkmod.la' failed"

and the only result I found was someone had post something to pastebin
containing that string. I also tried googling the other line but no results
were found.

Would someone tell me what:

  Makefile:1041: recipe for target 'libkmod/libkmod.la' failed
  Makefile:1520: recipe for target 'check-recursive' failed

means? Should I ignore the error and just trudge on?

I am in section 6.52 and I get a host of failures that don't seem to have
been queried of before so searching the archives didn't help.
