As already pointed out in the other thread
http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2020-February/073525.html,
indeed only the text needs to be changed and not any critical
instruction.  Specifically, you only need to change the text at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter05/gcc-libstdc++.html
from:

Since we have not yet built the C threads library, the C++ one cannot
be built either

to

Since we built gcc-pass1 with the option `--disable-threads', the C++
library that would have been built in gcc-pass1 had the glibc already
been available should be built without threads support too.

I would encourage you not to wait to change just the text description
because the description is indeed misleading.  Specifically, the term
`C library' is used at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter05/gcc-pass1.html
to refer to the glibc.  But, looking at the other thread, it can be
concluded that the term means the libgcc.

Thank you.
