Well, first, reply on the list and don't top post. For your question, there is a genral sources directory : $LFS/sources ; and each package has is own source directory, the one obtained when untaring. So, for binutils, you have the file binutils-xx.tar.bz2 in $LFS/sources ; after tar -xvf binutils-xx.tar.bz2 you obtain a subdirectory binustils-xx in which you enter ; you are in $LFS/sources/binutils-xx which is the source directory for binutils ; then you create ../binutils-build which is in $LFS/sources ; then cd ../binutils-build and you are in $LFS/sources/binutils-build. And so on. In $LFS/sources you have the two directories binutils-xx and binutils-build. When binutils is built, you go in £LFS/sources with "cd .." and then you have to delete those two directories with "rm -vfr binutils-xx" and "rm -vfr binutils-build" ; the 'f' is possibly unmandatory.
