As already posted: The problem lies in the output of "$(gcc -dumpmachine)". A
look at the manual page (man gcc-4.0) says to me:
-dumpmachine
Print the compiler's target machine (for example,
i686-pc-linux-gnu)---and
don't do anything else.
First look wether the option "dumpmachine" works by
issuing "gcc -dumpmachine". If successful, have a look wether the
corresponding path as expected by "/tools/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/bin/" really
exists.
Nevertheless I'm afraid, that most likely "gcc -dumpmachine" will not work for
you. But there are people on this list who for sure can help in that case.
BTW: Have a look at the manual page of bash - section "Command Substitution":
"Command substitution allows the output of a command to replace the command
name. There are two forms:
$(command )
or
`command`
Bash performs the expansion by executing command and replacing the command
substitution with the standard output of the command, with any trailing
newlines deleted."

Bad idea! In case of such an obvious error, have a look at the LFS pages or
ask for help.
