I haven't read it in a while, but I don't remember that part. In what context are they mentioned? Your host system must provide some basic tools. How those initial, basic tools are installed on the host system is between you and your distro. The host system becomes optional after a certain point in the build. LFS is a system built from source, often found in tarballs.
