[Clfs-dev] Noticed a few trivial rough spots in CLFS embedded

Just one stylistic comment: I think it'd be worthwhile to point out how the
gcc-final build differs from the gcc-static build. I know it is pointed out
in the introduction, but it might be helpful to reiterate what is going on.
I found myself pausing to make sure that there wasn't just a problem in the
book since I had just built gcc and now I was suddenly building it again
with what appeared to be an identical procedure (it's hard to mentally diff
long strings of configure flags).

Also, a few trivial writing problems:

Keep up the good work!
