    You can’t rush through this, I am NOT an lfs user (let alone an expert), and in 2 minutes of reading I found

    http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.6/chapter05/generalinstructions.html

    Important After installing each
    package, delete its source and build
    directories, unless specifically
    instructed otherwise. Deleting the
    sources prevents mis-configuration
    when the same package is reinstalled
    later.

    Pass1 builds a preliminary set of tools that work, Pass2 is building a set of tools that are optimized for your environment. Again, reread everything in chap5. Some experience with compilers is assumed.

    Finally, from a comment by @yasouser on one of your previous questions,

    See … LFS Mailing Lists (linuxfromscratch.org/mail.html)

    IHTH
