<para>Many modern linux distributions have merged <filename
class="directory">/bin</filename> and <filename
class="directory">/usr/bin</filename>. When this is the case, the standard
<envar>PATH</envar> variable needs just to be set to <filename
class="directory">/usr/bin/</filename> for the <xref
linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/> environment. When this is not the
case, the following line adds <filename class="directory">/bin</filename>
to the path.</para>

<para>By putting <filename class="directory">$LFS/tools/bin</filename> ahead of the
standard <envar>PATH</envar>, all the programs installed in <xref
linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/> are picked up by the shell immediately after
their installation. This, combined with turning off hashing, limits the risk
that old programs are used from the host when the same programs are available in
the Chapter 5 environment.</para>
