So I can easily update everything except binutils, gcc, and glibc, just like installing a new package? After that, is it OK to remove the old one? What would happen if I used the old gcc to compile a new gcc, and then tried to replace the old one with the new one (and did likewise with the other toolchain components)? If I can't do that, will the lfs 6.3 be good host for an lfs 6.5?
