What it says is "Compilation OK", not that all packages are OK. It's
supposed to be a short script to allow the user to visually check the
actual installed packages. That's part of the learning process.

Perhaps a comment. What is the output when you run
/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so as an executable?
On a Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64 system I have:
/lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.12.1.so

The semicolon is only needed if you do it on one line. You can also do:
time {
../binutils-2.22/configure \
--target=$LFS_TGT \
--prefix=/tools \
--disable-nls \
--disable-werror &&
make &&
make install
}
No semicolons required.
