Bing. You hit the nail on the head there. As Richard said, Fedora Core 4 isn't a suitable distro to build the stable version of the book. It should work OK for the development version but that may not be suitable if it's your first attempt at LFS. I've had good results building from Ubuntu. I like Ubuntu because it's all on one CD. Like the LFS live CD in fact.
One important point. If you get an error building binutils, don't think it doesn't matter and try to build gcc. Fix the errors as they come up.
