Yes, I think this might be one of those situations where you have to
step back before the situation will become clear. Binutils pass 1
is the first package, and it only installs things when you get to
'make install', so until then /tools should be empty (unless you
deliberately create files for testing, e.g. with 'touch').

I don't quite understand how xpg4 could get into the PATH, even if
you did install something there. I thought we specified PATH for
the lfs user somewhere in the early part of the book, but for your
new system it will (hopefully) not exist.
