        <listitem>
          <para>Normally, using <parameter>--host</parameter> ensures that
          a cross-compiler is used for building GCC, and that compiler knows
          that it has to look for headers and libraries in <filename
          class="directory">$LFS</filename>. But the build system of GCC uses
          other tools, which are not aware of this location. This switch is
          needed to have them find the needed files in <filename
          class="directory">$LFS</filename>, and not on the host.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><parameter>--target=$LFS_TGT</parameter></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>As we are cross-compiling GCC, it's impossible to build
          target libraries (<filename class="libraryfile">libgcc</filename>
          and <filename class="libraryfile">libstdc++</filename>) with the
          compiled GCC binaries because these binaries won't run on the
          host distro.  GCC building system will attempt to use the
          C and C++ compilers on the host distro as a workaround by default.
          It's not supported to build GCC target libraries with a different
          version of GCC, so using host compilers may cause building
          failure.  This parameter ensures to build the libraries with GCC
          pass 1 and prevent the issue.</para>

      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>

        <listitem>
          <para>Allow <filename class="libraryfile">libstdc++</filename> to
          use shared <filename class="libraryfile">libgcc</filename> being
          built in this pass, instead of the static version built in GCC
          pass 1. This is needed for supporting C++ exception
          handling.</para>

        <term><parameter>--enable-initfini-array</parameter></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>This option is automatically enabled when building a native
          compiler with a native compiler on x86. But here, we build with
          a cross compiler, so we need to explicitly set this option.</para>

    <para>As a finishing touch, create a utility symlink. Many programs and scripts
    run <command>cc</command> instead of <command>gcc</command>, which is
    used to keep programs generic and therefore usable on all kinds of UNIX
    systems where the GNU C compiler is not always installed. Running
    <command>cc</command> leaves the system administrator free to decide
    which C compiler to install:</para>
