No, the book says everything is to be *installed* into /tools. It says 
to keep your sources and patches in $LFS/sources and unpack and compile 
there.

It does not say that. You must have misread something - it says you 
might see compiler "warnings", and also says there may various failures 
and/or errors for some package testsuites - however you should NEVER get 
  any other errors outside of what the book explicitly says.

There's a lot more than tcl that's the problem. I'm also not seeing any 
of the libraries for gcc or glibc - looks like the only thing you've 
successfully installed so far is binutils. This means that gcc and glibc 
must have some kind of errors as well, which you skipped over. You need 
to rm -rf /tools/* and start over. Judging from some of your comments 
here, it is also clear that you need to go back to the very beginning of 
the book and re-read EVERYTHING - every word - as apparently there is a 
lot that you missed.
