That sounds like bad advice (might work, might keep you relying on
/tools even after LFS is finished).

ld-new comes from binutils pass2 (after 'make install').

But you are now in a position where you might want to keep what you
have in /tools.  Some people may tell you that the correct procedure
is to start over and "Follow Book, Book Good" (i.e. don't omit
anything).  But if this was your only omission, perhaps you could do
something like this after exiting from chroot AND from user lfs -

As root, probably:

mv -v /mnt/lfs/tools /mnt/lfs/tools.good
mkdir /mnt/lfs/tools, repeat setting up the environment, and again as user
lfs (in a fresh session) do everything up to the end of binutils
pass2.  Exit from user lfs.

Then, as root:
cp -v /mnt/lfs/tools/bin/ld-new to /mnt/lfs/tools.good/bin/ld-new
mv -v /mnt/lfs/tools{,.minimal}
mv -v /mnt/lfs/tools{.good,}
ls -l /mnt/lfs/tools/bin/ld-new

If ok , reenter chroot.

Not tested, I might very well be missing something.

If you have a fast machine, I would be inclined to just start over
and pay attention to all the instructions in each package.
