|
|
|
- temporary tools and will not be a part of the final LFS system. By keeping
|
|
|
- these programs in a separate directory, they can easily be discarded later
|
|
|
- after their use. This also prevents these programs from ending up in the

- host production directories (easy to do by accident in <xref

|

|
- symlink on the host system. This will point to the newly-created directory on

- <para>The above command is correct. The <command>ln</command> command

- has a few syntactic variations, so be sure to check
|
|
|
- <command>info coreutils ln</command> and <filename>ln(1)</filename>

- before reporting what you may think is an error.</para>

-
|
|
|
- <para>The created symlink enables the toolchain to be compiled so that it
|
|
|
- always refers to <filename class="directory">/tools</filename>, meaning
|
|
|
- that the compiler, assembler, and linker will work both in Chapter 5
|
|
|
- (when we are still using some tools from the host) and in the next (when
|
|
|
- we are <quote>chrooted</quote> to the LFS partition).</para>
