%general-entities; ]> Creating the temporary tools directories 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. Similarly, all programs compiled in will be installed under ${CLFS}/tools to keep them separate from the programs compiled in . This also prevents these programs from ending up in the host production directories (easy to do by accident in ). By keeping the cross-compile tools and temporary-system programs in separate directories, they can easily be discarded later after their use. Create the required directories by running the following as root: install -dv ${CLFS}/{tools,cross-tools}
