    <para os="s1">The following sed removes a dependency of gcc 3.4.x from
    the glibc we are using in cross-lfs. The reason we are changing it is
    because this only installs the headers, no compiling takes place. In the
    next glibc chapter, we use the gcc that's build right after this chapter.</para>
