Typically we delete all source directories after installation, so make should be nearly identical, nearly, because you've installed a few packages and re-adjusted the tool chain by the point you went back to re-make the headers.

If you really want to go back and start chapter six again make sure to revisit the Re-adjusting the tool chain section and revert everything to the starting state. > Another question is that when I get to the gcc section again I've > already tampered with it.

It is stated early in the book that all source directories are to be deleted unless explicitly stated otherwise [I actually don't recall any current LFS packages saying to keep their source directories], so for the most part you should have no trouble untarring and following the instructions again. > I know the actual first version of gcc > and all the rest where created in section 5 but did it make changes > to the source directories which mean that you can't simply re-untar > the source directories and execute the Section 6 instructions? Just to reiterate: the source directories should have been deleted, and just so we are clear: none of the LFS instructions affect the tar files.
