This looks like virgo's problem at...

I was pasting from the 7.4 online book into a terminal window.

I got to this point (5.9.1):

*CC=$LFS_TGT-gcc                \
AR=$LFS_TGT-ar                 \
RANLIB=$LFS_TGT-ranlib         \
../binutils-2.23.2/configure   \
    --prefix=/tools            \
    --disable-nls              \
    --with-lib-path=/tools/lib \
    --with-sysroot*

I selected all of that at once, middle-mouse-pasted it into my
terminal, and hit return.
I had entered many multilined commands this way and all seemed to work.
But this time, like Virgo, I got this error:
*Cannot run C compiled programs *
I repeated all of chapter 5 up to there with the same result.

I studied the situation and found that echo $CC produced a blank line.
So CC was not set. Nor, as I recall, were AR and RANLIB.

So I pasted the lines one at a time with out the backslashes.
And all is well. I don't know why.
