Sir:

I think that you will get more consistent and reliable results if you burn
the LFS CD ISO to a disk and boot from that for the host
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/livecd/download.html

In theory, I suppose building from an alternate host using an optimized gcc
compiler could generate a slightly faster LFS target, but I don't think the
minimal extra speed would be worth risking the chance of small corruptions
along the way.

Even if the original host system was optimized better than that of the tools
on the LFS Live CD, I don't think that this would matter much because the
LFS build seems be multi-pass.  You construct temporary LFS tools that are
used to compile the final LFS system.   By the time the final LFS passes are
done, I think that you are building with pretty good tools.

This is just a wild oppinion, however, I may be missing something that
others aren't.

Best!
