The source directory referenced in the quote above is referring to the binutils-2.15.94.0.2.2 directory created when the archive is untarred. The LFS solution to "building Binutils outside the source directory" is to build it in the binutils-build directory. That is what this statement means; it is not referring to the $LFS/source directory or anything like that.
