--disable-libstdc++-v3 works just fine, so you must have mistyped something.

One problem I'm seeing in this output is that you are running this from
$LFS/gcc-build, and have apparently unpacked GCC's source inside that
dir, which is not what you're supposed to be doing. Go back and read
page 5.3 very carefully.

Apparently you've modified $LFS_TGT from what the book says to use.
Granted, this particular change should not be a problem, but it does
indicate that you've deviated from the book's instructions. In what
other ways have you done things differently from the book?

There is nothing wrong with that sed command - you are just
misunderstanding what it actually does. Try changing the "-i" to
"-i.bak" and then doing a "diff -au gcc/configure{.bak,}" to see the
differences.

Are you saying that you are getting an error of some kind about this?
That directory should be created during compile, so it shouldn't matter
that it doesn't exist when you unpack the source.
