No. As the book says (and I'm sure you're just a tad confused at this point, no big deal), you start in a directory where the tarball exists. Then unpack the tarball which creates a directory containing all the source files. You then change dirs into that new directory and apply any patches (if necessary). After that the instructions say to create a build directory using the .. (parent) notation. Something similar to: mkdir ../glibc-build Then you change into that newly created build directory: cd ../glibc-build Then continue on with the instructions.
