Problems with C/c++ compiler

I need help changing to the compiler that I have just
compiled because
I keep on getting the following error:

/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/include -isystem

Are you on Ubuntu? What's the output from `ls -l /bin/sh'?

OK, there's a problem because the Makefiles in glibc use
some bash
syntax, but they call /bin/sh by default. The way to get
around this
is to add SHELL=/bin/bash every time you call make for
glibc. This is
only a problem in Ch. 5 since /bin/sh -> bash in Ch. 6.
This is on the
errata for 6.2.

Well it started installing on the make for about 7 minutes
then just
went dead and now I have a different error:


/LFS/sources/glibc-build/elf/librtld.os:/LFS/sources/glibc-2
.3.6/elf/dl-load.c:1660:
more undefined references to `__stack_chk_fail_local'
follow
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [/LFS/sources/glibc-build/elf/ld.so] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/LFS/sources/glibc-2.3.6/elf'
make[1]: *** [elf/subdir_lib] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/LFS/sources/glibc-2.3.6'
make: *** [all] Error 2

My superviser who says he does not want to spoon feed me
says one of
my problems is that I am still using

"rootmonox:~# gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20060928 (prerelease) (Ubuntu
4.1.1-13ubuntu5)

rootmonox:~# which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc"

and i need to change and start using the C compiler located
at

"rootmonox:~# /tools/bin/gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.0.3

Yes. /tools/bin should be at the front of your PATH. If
you're just
going to use the host's tools, then you might as well skip
Ch. 5. That
would defeat a major part of what's going on, though. We go
to great
pains to make sure that your host toolchain has the absolute
minimum
influence on your final system.

You also shouldn't be root in Ch. 5. The main reason for
doing this is
so you don't inadvertently mangle your host. FBBG.
