English is my native language; however I'm not the greatest writer, and most of 
the time I just don't write formally in emails. And sometimes my typing sucks 
too.

LFS is definitely for me!

I'm learning allot and I'm having a great time doing this. 


I went back and did all the instructions for 5.12.1 over again by cutting and 
pasting them into the terminal and this time the Makefile was not zero bytes. 

make worked 
make -k check worked (although there was an error) 
make install worked
compile test passed

I think my problem was due to a type-O caused by trying to type the commands 
directly into the terminal. 

This is my first time building a system from scratch and some of the commands I 
have no idea what the output for them will be. 

Sorry for the newbie type questions. 


Again thank you all for your help.

I don't know if English is your native language.  It appears not.  You are not 
following the instructions.

After the you should cd gcc-4.3.2, not cd gcc.4.3.2

Next you untar mpfr and gmp,  and do the mv commands -- not cd ..;mkdir 
gcc-build which is not the same as the book:

mkdir -v ../gcc-build
cd ../gcc-build

If you don't know what you are doing and can't follow instructions, perhaps 
this 
is not the project for you.
