LFS is designed to use nothing from the host system. It has been a while since I have done it (LFS4.0), but these are the steps 1) The host compiler is used to build a temporary compiler and a small number of libraries to support this compiler. 2) The temporary compiler is used to build a full compiler. 3) This full compiler is then used to build itself, and the rest of the system. The goal of this project is that the resulting system is always the same, no matter what host system was used I have build my LFS 4 system with a knoppix host, but I don't know what the best host system is for the current version.
