Hi Andy, thanks for your quick answer. I understand that the two solutions are equivalent: so I kept at work the symlink. Now, another question, yet discussed - as I could verify - in lfs-support, but with some residual doubt as concerns myself: the notorious target triplet. Running config.guess from binutils, I obtain, as expected, "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu", but "echo $LFS_TGT" furnishes this answer: "x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu". To avoid future problems, must I change something (eventually, where?), or I go ahead not worrying about this discrepancy? Sorry to disturb, but I think the same question will hit other neophytes.
