Currently the book uses:

export CLFS_HOST="$(echo ${MACHTYPE} | sed -e 's/unknown/cross/g' -e 's/-pc-/-cross-/g')"

I think we should be using this instead:

export CLFS_HOST="$(echo $MACHTYPE | sed "s/$(echo $MACHTYPE | cut -d- -f2)/cross/")"

Advantages of the proposed command, It will replace the 2nd field where the delimeter is - with cross.

I'd like to see this go into the book before RC4.
