+<para>The first patch disables the GCC "fixincludes" script.  We mentioned this
+briefly earlier, but a slightly more in-depth explanation of the fixincludes 
+process is warranted here.  Under normal circumstances, the GCC fixincludes
+script scans your system for header files that need to be fixed.  It might find
+that the Glibc header files on your host system need to be fixed, fix them and
+put them in the GCC private include directory.  Then, later on in Chapter 6,
+after we've installed the newer Glibc, this private include directory would be
+searched before the system include directory, resulting in GCC finding the
+fixed headers from the host system, which would most likely not match the Glibc
+version actually used for the LFS system.</para>

-<para>Also, because we allowed GCC's "Fixincludes" script to modify our host's
-header files (and this was necessary because of improper use of the __thread
-keyword in some older software), we want to get rid of those modified header
-files, and replace them with pristine ones.</para>
+<para>Lastly, there is a possibility that some include files from the host
+system have found their way into gcc's private include dir. This can happen
+because of GCC's "fixincludes" process which part of the GCC build. We'll
+explain more about this further on in this chapter.  For now, run the
+following commands to eliminate this possibility.</para>
