Description
In the Chapter 6 GCC instructions, there is a reference to check out BLFS if you want to install additional compilers. This reference should be changed to more accurately reflect what compilers can be installed at this point.
At this point in Chapter 6, it would be very difficult to get the Ada compiler installed. Perhaps changing the note to say that you could simply add the fortran, java and objective-C compilers to the ./configure command instead.
Also, you could add a note in Chapter 5 GCC-Pass1 to mention the hint that provides some very minor build differences allowing to build the Ada compiler during LFS.

The bug is still there. As long as you point users to BLFS from Chapter 6 in LFS, it is a bug. It is too late (Chapter 6 in LFS) to build Ada, which is the only reason anyone needs to go to BLFS.
There should be no mention of BLFS, other than perhaps to say that *after LFS is complete*, they could go to BLFS and install additional compilers.
Pointing users to BLFS from Chapter 6 in LFS should be removed completely, as it serves no useful purpose.

Fair enough. Fixed in rev. 4999
Chapter 6 fixed in 4998. Chapter 5 will be left as is.
