Yes indeed. In an otherwise-correct build, not removing the build
directory will cause strange results. But setting a variable such
as CC in your example will only last for that line, so it will not
be in effect when CXX is set in that example.
One of the things to learn from building LFS is that you can
override some variables used in a configure script by setting them
in fromt of, and in the same command as, the configure script.
This is also why, no matter how well somebody knows how to script,
we recommend a manual build until you have successfully booted LFS.
Of course, doing that would have not highlighted the problem in
quite the same way. But technically you deviated from the book even
in your earlier manual build if you did not use the backslash.
And please, stop top-posting in your replies.
