I am following the instructions of LFS book. I have unzip or untar many packages and install it. But when I do the same process for Gzip package It freezes. Everything is works fine until checking for ld used by gcc... part.
# lfs@harun-VirtualBox:/mnt/lfs/sources/gzip-1.9$ ./configure --prefix=/tools . . . checking whether lstat correctly handles trailing slash... yes checking whether ftello is declared... yes checking for ftello... yes checking whether ftello works... yes checking whether getcwd (NULL, 0) allocates memory for result... yes checking for getcwd with POSIX signature... yes checking whether getdtablesize is declared... yes checking for getopt.h... (cached) yes checking for getopt_long_only... yes checking whether getopt is POSIX compatible... yes checking for working GNU getopt function... yes checking for working GNU getopt_long function... yes checking for C/C++ restrict keyword... __restrict checking for struct timeval... yes checking for wide-enough struct timeval.tv_sec member... yes checking host CPU and C ABI... i386 checking where to find the exponent in a 'float'... word 0 bit 23 checking whether limits.h has ULLONG_WIDTH etc.... yes checking for ld used by gcc... What are the possible reasons for this? Any suggestions?

I just find a workaround for this. But it is not a best way to solve the problem. I execute the same command as root user it worked fine and not freezed. But this solution is not good enough. Because newly generated files by this command are belongs to root user. So we have to change ownership from root to default user which in my case lfs.
Permissions also should be recursive.
$ chown -R lfs gzip-1.9
