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

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.

OK, I used this in revision 11115.  It will be in 7.10.
