Log:
Fixed the re-adjusting of the toolchain in chapter 6 so that chapter 6 GCC and
Binutils links against the proper Glibc and so that we don't have to keep the
binutils directories from chapter 5.
Also moved a note about saving the /tools directory to the beginning of chapter
6.
Fixes bug 1677. Thanks to Chris Staub, Alexander Patrakov, Greg Schafer and
Tushar Teredesai for reporting and resolving this issue.
