[b0dbcb6] | 13 | <para>The cross-binutils and cross-compiler built in |

| 14 | <xref linkend="chapter-cross-tools"/> will be installed under |

| 15 | <filename class="directory">$LFS/cross-tools</filename> to keep them |
---|
[e97d7d3] | 16 | separate from the host programs. The programs compiled here are |
---|
[b0dbcb6] | 17 | cross-tools and will not be a part of the final CLFS system or the |
---|
| 18 | temp-system. By keeping these programs in a separate directory, they |
---|
| 19 | can easily be discarded later after their use.</para> |

---|
[b0dbcb6] | 28 | This will point to the newly-created directory on the CLFS partition. |

[80605b0] | 33 | <para>The symlink isn't technically necessary (though the book's |
---|
| 34 | instructions do assume its existence), but is there mainly for |
---|
| 35 | consistency (because /tools is also symlinked to $LFS/tools) and to |
---|
[b0dbcb6] | 36 | simplify the installation of the cross-compile tools.</para> |
