-  <para><xref linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/> also shows you how to
-  build a C cross-compiling toolchain as a first step, including binutils
-  and GCC. Cross-compiling is not absolutely needed since the machine we'll
-  run LFS on is the same as the one we build on, but it has the advantage
-  of clearly separating the already installed system and the future LFS one.
-  The next step is to build Glibc, the C library. Glibc will be compiled by
-  the toolchain programs built previously. Then, the missing bits for a
-  C++ cross-compiling toolchain will be built. It is then possible to build
-  packages that are needed to resolve circular dependencies in such a way
-  that the produced executables and libraries are completely independent
-  from the installed distribution.</para>

-  after running the <command>chroot</command> (change root) program to enter
-  a virtual environment and start a new shell whose root directory will be
-  set to the LFS partition. This is very similar to rebooting and instructing
-  the kernel to mount the LFS partition as the root partition. The system
-  does not actually reboot, but instead uses <command>chroot</command>
-  because creating a bootable system requires additional work which is not 
-  ecessary just yet. The major advantage is that <quote>chrooting</quote>
-  allows to isolate the build process from the installed distribution, while
