None of BLFS is mandatory, so you don't *have* to do anything. The reinstallation of GCC is necessary if you want to install compilers for additional languages, such as Java, on top of the C & C++ compilers installed in LFS. BLFS installs an older version of GCC, I think, because the BLFS book is so big, nobody has had time to verify that installing the latest version works with the other packages in BLFS.
