- <para>All programs compiled in <xref linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/>
- will be installed under <filename class="directory">$LFS/tools</filename>
- to keep them separate from the programs compiled in <xref
- linkend="chapter-building-system"/>. The programs compiled here are
- temporary tools and will not be a part of the final LFS system. By keeping
- these programs in a separate directory, they can easily be discarded later
- after their use. This also prevents these programs from ending up in the
- host production directories (easy to do by accident in <xref
- linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/>).</para>
-
- <para>Create the required directory by running the following as
- <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>mkdir -v $LFS/tools</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>The next step is to create a <filename class="symlink">/tools</filename>
- symlink on the host system. This will point to the newly-created directory on
- the LFS partition. Run this command as <systemitem
- class="username">root</systemitem> as well:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>ln -sv $LFS/tools /</userinput></screen>
-
- <note>
- <para>The above command is correct. The <command>ln</command> command
- has a few syntactic variations, so be sure to check
- <command>info coreutils ln</command> and <filename>ln(1)</filename>
- before reporting what you may think is an error.</para>
- </note>
-
- <para>The created symlink enables the toolchain to be compiled so that it
- always refers to <filename class="directory">/tools</filename>, meaning
- that the compiler, assembler, and linker will work both in Chapter&nbsp;5
- (when we are still using some tools from the host) and in the next (when
- we are <quote>chrooted</quote> to the LFS partition).</para>
