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!
