Binutils installs man and info pages in /usr

Description

When installing the binutils package in chapter 6.11 of the LFS-book version 6.2, binutils installs man and info pages in /usr/man and /usr/info, instead of /usr/share/{man,info}. Glibc also installs info pages to /usr/info.

Shouldn't installation of man-pages be suppressed, since the pages from the man-pages package are better?

You missed a symbolic link. See section 6.5. 

for dir in /usr /usr/local; do
  ln -sv share/{man,doc,info} $dir
done
