Split Chapter 5 into three separate chapters.
Implement a new method of cross-building the LFS tool chain and other tools to simplify the method of isolating the new system from the original host. This will be the start of LFS-10.0. Move old trunk/BOOK to branches/old-trunk. git-svn-id: http://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/LFS/trunk/BOOK@11946 4aa44e1e-78dd-0310-a6d2-fbcd4c07a689
