Your mkdir command should be done when you are in the binutils src dir, in
effect you are creating $LFS/sources/binutils-build
So $LFS need not be owned by lfs

Hope the makes sense,
To clarify that a little more, each chapter assumes you have done

    untar xyz.tar.bz2
    cd xyz

the ../ is the parent dir of the current

....

Just seen your latest post come in,, the -R is the recursive flag, but
since that dir has just been created it shouldn't have anything in it,
still no harm adding that
