Read the book, particularly the box marked important on this page: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter05/generalinstructions.html So, on each page you should untar the source, cd into the directory created and then start executing the commands on the page. So, for binutils you should start in /mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-2.21.1 and mkdir -v ../binutils-build will make /mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build. If you're following the book /mnt/lfs/sources is owned and writable for user lfs so there is no problem.
