LFS v12.1 Chapter 5.5: glibc v2.39
Hi all! I am trying to run the "../configure"command with the required options to configure then make glibc. However, I keep on getting this error:

configure: error:
*** These critical programs are missing or too old: gawk bison
*** Check the INSTALL file for required versions.So far, the only issue I thought could be the culprit was maybe the glibc Makefile wasn't expecting versions of gawk and bison so much newer than the glibc library itself. However, I don't want to go about changing Makefiles with no understanding of how they work. So that's why I'm posting here, looking for any advice on what the actual error may be.

Also, this is the output of my version-check.sh:
