First, please don't top post. See the FAQ on nettiquette if you have more questions. Second, you should always be removing the source and build directories after you are done with them with noted exceptions in the book of binutils and tcl (Note: That's to the best of my memory, if there are other packages then I forget them at this time). The book has specific instructions on when you need to keep around the build and source directories and otherwise assumes that you delete the directories when you are done with them. This is especially important for rebuilding stuff in chapter six that was previously built in chapter five.
Just to add to that. You'll notice that gcc, binutils and glibc (and a few others maybe) build in a seperate directory from the unpacked source. You might then think 'oh! I only need to delete the build directory, 'cos the source is not touched by the build'. BUT TAKE GREAT CARE, you might find that the PATCHES applied in chapter 5 are NOT the same as those in chapter 6.
It really is best to start each build with a clean un-tar, unless the book SPECIFICALLY tells you not to.
