I think you did. Re-read "4.2. Creating the $LFS/tools Directory" and the
bits
about /tools... in "5.2. Toolchain Technical Notes"
I have placed tools on /tools, where / is filesys root of system (debian) i
am
currently running.
So, if i 'mv /tools /mnt/data' will it be right thing to do?
Yes, and then create the symlink too:
mv /tools /mnt/data
ln -s /mnt/data/tools /
The idea behind this is that the new compiler, linker, etc (toolchain) that
you are installing in /mnt/data/tools is built in a way that it contains
hard-coded
paths to /tools. You will find them installed in /tools after you chroot
into /mnt/data.
However, you actually need to start using this new toolchain _before_ you
get to the chroot part. There are two things needed to make this happen.
1) You have /tools/bin as the _first_ element of your PATH (see "4.4.
Setting Up the Environment")
2) You have the symlink /tools -> /mnt/data/tools so that your host system
can
find these files in /tools/* although they are actually in
/mnt/data/tools/*.
