1638	Make requirement to delete gcc source directory prior to final build more explizit	felix.krull@…	lfs-book@…	"Although LFS 6.1. states generally in chapter 5.1.:

""After installing each package, delete its source and build directories, unless
specifically instructed otherwise.""

- this is most probabably not alway adhered to by the common LFS user - people
tend tp ""rationalize"" their work ;)

If one procede with the final GCC build in chapter 6.14 without deleting the
source directory (and therefor without undoing the gcc-specs patch from chapter
5) - the build fails due to missing header files (stdio.h etc.).

That quite a number of people (including myself) have been hit by this scenario,
is nicely documented in Google:
   
http://www.google.de/search?q=tsystem.h+stdio.h+%22no+such+file+or+directory%22+LFS&

Therefore my suggestion: make the requirement to delete build/source directories
between the different build stages more prominent or state the requirement
explicitly again in the chapter for the final gcc-build. 

Keep up the good work &
