toolchaintechnotes: add the rationale for cross compiling ch6 packages
...
"need to be cross compiled" alone does not make too much sense: we
compile these packages in chapter 8 anyway. The real reason forcing a
cross compilation is circular dependency: if building A needs B but
building B needs A, we'll have to cross compile at least one of A and B
or we won't be able to build either in the chroot.

toolchaintechnotes: gcc -dumpmachine is similar to config.guess, but not same
...
Many distros have some customized things in gcc -dumpmachine. RHEL uses
x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, and Ubuntu uses x86_64-linux-gnu ("vendor"
field omitted). So don't use "same" here, and also mention the "vendor"
field is sometimes omitted.

Polish up the prose in "Toolchain Technical Notes". Fix capitalization.
...
Rough edges remain. For instance, $LFS_TGT-ld is referenced, but not
clearly defined. Will need to discuss wirh other editors to resolve.

toolchain note: add a disclaimer for the purpose of the book
...
There are some discussion on gcc-help from someone (mis)using LFS to
build a "general" toolchain. Let's stop it before off-topic message got
into lfs-support.
