When you follow the instructions for *any* page in chapters 5 and
6, you should first untar any tarball specified (so,
gcc-4.5.1.tar.bz2 in this case) *and then cd into the directory it
creates*. If you remember that last part, the problem disappears.
What we are doing is creating gmp/, mpfr/, mpc/ directories
_within_ the gcc directoriy. We do this because any host using a
version of gcc older than 4.5 will NOT have all of these required
programs, so we will build them in to the temporary gcc.
Also, don't forget to delete the source and any -build directories
after each step [ thought I'd throw in that reminder ].
I don't think you have understood how /tools is used. The programs
there *are* used during chapter 6, because we put them at the end of
the PATH, as a fall-back. So, at the beginning of chapter 6 we
use /tools/bin for everything we run, but gradually we pick up the
newer programs from /bin and /usr/bin.
