Please read section 5.1 carefully. It tells you that all
package installation instructions assume that you have unpacked the source tarball and entered the source dir.

I have read it carefully and I think this is where I have my
problem.  I understand I need to enter the source directory but
where to put the source directory is the question.  In sections
5.4 and 5.5 I cp'd the source directories to the -build
directories and unpacked them there and did the configure.  In
section 5.7 it is not clear to me into which $LFS directory I
should cp the source.  Section 5.l implies it is the $LFS/tools
directory but to me this is not clear.  This is where I need the
clarification.  Any clarification is appreciated.


It doesn't really matter where you put the sources. However they should certainly be somewhere on $LFS so that they will available after you chroot. Also, the book *does* give a specific recommendation - $LFS/sources. Please look at section 3.1.
