I now think the copy-paste theory was wrong. I should not have expected CC to be set after running the configure command in 5.9.1. I was unfamiliar with the idea of passing environment vars to a single program on the command line. I have used shells for a long time and not learned that till now. So, that's why I'm here! Thanks to all.
My section 7.4 binutils section 5.9 has failed again after another full repeat of chapter 5 done with care. This time I noticed the warning in 5.7 glibc-2.18 said that autoconf was missing (along with the expected msgfmt). Will I need autoconf for 7.4 binutils section 5.9?
