There seem to be a couple of typos in the paragraph on building

as written.
I guess you mean the sentence "The compiler is generally not an
issue since Glibc will always use the compiler relating to the
/|--host|/ parameter passed to its configure script, e.g. in our
case, i686-lfs-linux-gnu-gcc". I trust you about English, but for me,
the "e.g." may as well refer to the compiler...
Yes, I was hasty. The second reference (to CC) is correct. The first,
which you quoted, is definitely ambiguous. As phrased, it could refer
either to the --host parameter itself or to the compiler which
configure chooses as a consequence. May I suggest a small emendation
for clarity: "...configure script. In our case, this compiler will be
i686-lfs-linux-gnu-gcc."
I don't understand. We now say:
The compiler is generally not an issue since Glibc will always use the
compiler relating to the --host parameter passed to its configure script,
e.g. in our case, i686-lfs-linux-gnu-gcc.
Can you please clarify your suggested clarification?
