You can't rush through this, I am NOT an lfs user (let alone an expert), and in 2 minutes of reading I found

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.6/chapter05/generalinstructions.html

Important After installing each package, delete its source and build directories, unless specifically instructed otherwise. Deleting the sources prevents mis-configuration when the same package is reinstalled later.

Pass1 builds a preliminary set of tools that work, Pass2 is building a set of tools that are optimized for your environment. Again, reread everything in chap5. Some experience with compilers is assumed.

Finally, from a comment by @yasouser on one of your previous questions,

See ... LFS Mailing Lists (linuxfromscratch.org/mail.html)
