GCC hardcodes some paths while compiling and so we need to pass /usr as theprefix during ./configure.  We pass the real install prefix during themake install command later.</para><para><userinput>--enable-languages=c,c++:</userinput> This only builds the Cand C++ compilers and not the other available compilers as they are, onthe average, not often used. If those other compilers are needed,the --enable-languages parameter can be omitted.</para><para><userinput>ln -s ../usr/bin/cpp:</userinput> Thiscreates the $LFS/lib/cpp symlink. Some packages explicitly try to findcpp in /lib.</para><para><userinput>ln -s ../bin/cpp:</userinput> Thiscreates the $LFS/usr/lib/cpp symlink as there are packages that expectcpp to be in /usr/lib.</para></sect2>
