The general instructions provide the clue needed there, I think.
Each section presupposes that one has untar'd the source, and
then cd'd to the resultant directory, before performing any
of the instructions associated with the package.

about needing to build a compiler in order to build that needs
explaining?
Perhaps you mean the reason one needs to get the associated
packages and untar them in the gcc directory? That's simply
a matter of how the FSF decided to package gcc. You'd have
to ask them, not the LFS team.
