You probably have the full tarball - you can either download GCC as a full tarball, including all languages, or download individual languages - if you got gcc-3.4.1.tar.{gz,bz2} from the GNU ftp server, then you have the full tarball, and can disregard this.
3) it also talks about untaring these (above) paqckages into the working dir?
what is the working dir? <-- $LFS/tools? or the gcc dir i delete?
In this case, the working dir refers to your sources dir. If you *did* have the separate gcc-core, gcc-g++, and gcc-testsuite tarballs, when you extracted them, they would all end up extracting into the same directory, merging together properly. Since it sounds like you have the full tarball, then simply extract, cd into the created directory, and follow the instructions.
