  9. <title>Introduction</title>
  10. <para>This chapter shows how to cross-compile basic utilities using
  11. the just built cross-toolchain. Those utilities are installed into
  12. their final location, but cannot be used yet. Basic tasks still rely on
  13. the host's tools. Nevertheless, the installed libraries are used when
  14. linking.</para>
  15. <para>Using the utilities will be possible in next chapter after entering
  16. the <quote>chroot</quote> environment. But all the packages built in the
  17. present chapter need to be built before we do that. Therefore we cannot be
  18. independent of the host system yet.</para>
  19. <para>Once again, let us recall that improper setting of <envar>LFS</envar>
  20. together with building as <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>,
  21. may render your computer unusable.
  22. This whole chapter must be done as user <systemitem
  23. class="username">lfs</systemitem>, with the environment as described in
  24. <xref linkend="ch-preps-settingenviron"/>.</para>
