There is an inherent (documented in LFS Section 5.1) assumption made for
every package that the instructions given assume that you have done:

tar -xf <package-tarball>
cd <package-root>

Your first suggestion would be a good approach, but the second is a
deviation form the norm.  I would recommend the first alternative.
