So basically, you're saying start all over again! Or only gcc and 
binutils (chapters 8.14 and 8.15)?

Well, ok.
But the specs of gcc, with gcc -dumpspecs, shows nothing of /tools or 
/cross/tools, the ld-2.5.1.so is located at /lib, and the 
startfile_prefix_spec is/are empty.

So how come??  Ok, I, already see, it's build again in 8.15. That 
explains it.

Futher I would like to know is there still some interest in automating 
the build. I'm thinking of a system which uses something like pkgtool 
and another tool to download the instructions (and packages) from the 
clfs website. User has choice to build manually or getting and following 
the instructions from the book, and letting the tool do pieces of the 
book without userinvention.
