It seems that I've made this mistake a few times myself. You may consider updating the kernel on your host system (which looks like the liveCD). This is what I've done before. Also, it's my preferred solution for this mistake. Works out fine in the end. Or cleaning out the file system and starting over. Very time consuming and not much fun! (Think I've gone this route too, on occasion). Or by undoing the changes made to the gcc spec file and reverting the toolchain back and then rebuilding glibc. Time consuming and a fun way to learn, but ... it's been a long time since I've done such the details seem fuzzy...
