Hi Jon,

as far as I remember:

The compilation of these C-files is controlled by 'lfs/misc-progs'
(make.sh / Core 189 / line 1720) and logged in a file named something
like 'log_x86_64/misc-progs'.

To put it in a nutshell: it could be sufficient if you just delete this
specific log file and start 'make.sh build' again. The lack of this log
file will trigger a new compilation process of 'misc-progs'.

HTH,
Matthias
