Kinda odd because I thought it should be automatically there if you had
a 2.4.x kernel.

Yup finishes sucessfully here. All I did was build a 2.4 kernel. Im
using the standard glibc that comes with Debian/SID but I have a server
running Woody, and that works as well. What file system are you
running? Both of mine are on ext3. If you are runnning ext2 that may be
the problem(though I think even ext2 has LFS now, I might be wrong
though).
