Most likely trying to use the host's installed mpfr. First extract the gcc tarball from the sources directory and then change to the directory created. Only then should you proceed with the instructions below. (note at gcc pass1) Example: cd $LFS/sources tar xf gcc-4.7.1.tar.bz2 cd gcc-4.7.1 tar -Jxf ../mpfr-3.1.1.tar.xz mv -v mpfr-3.1.1 mpfr tar -Jxf ../gmp-5.0.5.tar.xz mv -v gmp-5.0.5 gmp tar -zxf ../mpc-1.0.tar.gz mv -v mpc-1.0 mpc .........rest of book commands for gcc pass1 Section 5.3 is clear, the note of gcc is clear. not sure what else could be said to make it clear. Prerequisites are clear.
