Then is it possible to skip chapter 5 to make tools or toolchain or
temporary system?
It is possible, and exactly what I did after my first run though LFS.
Extract it to the root. Chroot to it. Install grub, bc. and compile the
kernel. Reboot. You already have wget etc etc. I built Xorg etc
following BLFS and worked flawlessly. Would be happy to answer any other
questions.
Of course it is possible. It might also be possible to use an existing
debian or redhat install as temporary toolchain.
It just undermines the whole point of Linux From Scratch. The "from
scratch" actually means that you build the whole systen from scratch. Like
this, you fail to do that. You will compile at least:
Glibc-2.24
Zlib-1.2.8
File-5.28
Binutils-2.27
GMP-6.1.1
MPFR-3.1.4
MPC-1.0.3
with the gentoo compiler and not the one that you built yourself.
One thing that is quite reasonable is to build /mnt/lfs/tools (Chapter 5)
and archive it. You can then reuse it for any new version of LFS unless a
package comes up that needs something newer. But that hasn't happened in
years.
I'll note that on my system, I takes only about 20 minutes to build Chapter 5.

Yes, it is automated.
