<title>Introduction</title>
<para>This chapter shows how to cross-compile basic utilities using
the just built cross-toolchain. Those utilities are installed into
their final location, but cannot be used yet. Basic tasks still rely on
the hosts tools. Nevertheless, the installed libraries are used when
linking.</para>
<para>Using the utilities will be possible in next chapter after entering
the <quote>chroot</quote> environment. But all the packages built in the
present chapter need themselves to be built. So we cannot be independent
on the build system yet.</para>
<para>Once again, let us recall that improper setting of <envar>LFS</envar>
together with building as root, may render your computer unusable.
This whole chapter must be done as user <systemitem
class="username">lfs</systemitem>, with the enviroment as described in
<xref linkend="ch-preps-settingenviron"/>.</para>
