The i486 comes from setting CLFS_HOST in the step at chapter 5.3 Build
Variables:

export CLFS_HOST=$(echo ${MACHTYPE} | sed -e 's/-[^-]*/-cross/')

I tried:
clfs at ubuntu:/mnt/clfs/sources$ echo $MACHTYPE
i486-pc-linux-gnu

and:
clfs at ubuntu:/mnt/clfs/sources$ echo $(echo ${MACHTYPE} | sed -e
's/-[^-]*/-cross/')
i486-cross-linux-gnu

Also, is it safe to ignore the xgcc errors? Below:

configure:3028:  /mnt/clfs/sources/gcc-build/./gcc/xgcc
