I am working on Chapter 5, so I will only comment on that as that is all I have info for right now. Chapter 5.4 binutils doesn't put any include files into /tools/include, places include files into x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu/lib Chapter 5.5 gcc places an empty directory into /tools so that /tools/inculde exists at this point but it is empty. Chapter 5.6 linux api headers is next but since the /tools/include directory is empty at this point there is nothing to over write. So installing the linux API headers into /tools/nclude should overwrite nothing.
