%general-entities; ]> Creating the ${CLFS}/cross-tools Directory The cross-binutils and cross-compiler built in will be installed under ${CLFS}/cross-tools to keep them separate from the host programs. The programs compiled here are cross-tools and will not be a part of the final CLFS system or the temp-system. By keeping these programs in a separate directory, they can easily be discarded later after their use. Create the required directory by running the following as root: install -dv ${CLFS}/cross-tools The next step is to create a /cross-tools symlink on the host system. This will point to the newly-created directory on the CLFS partition. Run this command as root as well: ln -sv ${CLFS}/cross-tools /
