Hi,

I got the same error with r320258.
Is it because "head" is not part of the bootstrap tools?

I was able to continue by replacing "| head 1" with "| sed -n 1p" in
_ld_version!=   ${${ld}} --version 2>/dev/null | head -n 1 || echo none

head is not in /tmp/install.RANDOMVALUES but sed is.

Regards,
Guy
