Actually, this is the correct way to cross-compile a package: Use a cross-compiler (binutils-pass1+gcc-pass1) and install the package to a place where it can be transferred to the new machine (the one for which we cross-compile).
But in LFS, once glibc is build, we transform the cross-compile into a native build, by using the /tools symlink trick. Of course, if any package tries to directly write to system dirs (such as seems to be the case for /var/db in glibc-2.15) instead of acknowledging prefix, this trick fails... Maybe, it would be safer to always use DESTDIR (or equivalent) in chapter 5?
