-  <para>The created symlink enables the toolchain to be compiled so that
-  it always refers to <filename class="directory">/cross-tools</filename>,
-  meaning that the compiler, assembler, and linker will be available for
-  use later if some unforseen circumstances happen.</para>
+  <para>The symlink isn't technically necessary (though the book's
+  instructions do assume its existence), but is there mainly for
+  consistency (because /tools is also symlinked to $LFS/tools) and to
+  somewhat simplify the installation of the cross-compile tools.</para>
