Yes, that makes sence, and what I expected, except the book says "The Binutils documentation recommends building Binutils outside of the source directory in a dedicated build directory". Now I see what it means. It's referring to the Binutils source directory not the $LFS/source directory. :-) So yes, it would be created then in $LFS/sources/binutils-build I understand now. Thanks.
