   <title>What's new since the last release</title>
 
-  <caution>
-    <para>
-      During a development cycle of LFS, the instructions in the book is
-      often modified to adapt for a package update or take the advantage of
-      new features from updated packages.  Mixing up the instructions of
-      different versions of the LFS book can cause subtle breakages.  This
-      kind of issue is generally a result from reusing some script created
-      for a prior LFS release.  Such a reuse is strongly discouraged.  If
-      you are reusing scripts for a prior LFS release for any reason, you'll
-      need to be very careful to update the scripts to match current version
-      of the LFS book.

-  is set for GCC.  It's a configure switch newly added in GCC 13.1 to
-  prevent GCC from <quote>fixing</quote> the system headers.  Such a
-  <quote>fix</quote> is unnecessary for a modern Linux system and may cause
-  issues if a package is updated after installing GCC.</para>

   <title>General Compilation Instructions</title>
 
+  <caution>
+    <para>
+      During a development cycle of LFS, the instructions in the book are
+      often modified to adapt for a package update or take the advantage of
+      new features from updated packages.  Mixing up the instructions of
+      different versions of the LFS book can cause subtle breakages.  This
+      kind of issue is generally a result from reusing some script created
+      for a prior LFS release.  Such a reuse is strongly discouraged.  If
+      you are reusing scripts for a prior LFS release for any reason, you'll
+      need to be very careful to update the scripts to match current version
+      of the LFS book.
+    </para>

   <para>Here are some things you should know about building each package:</para>
