Prepare GCC for compilation:

cd $_

    --disable-decimal-float                        \

    --disable-libquadmath                          \
    --disable-libssp                               \
    --disable-libvtv                               \
    --disable-libstdcxx                            \

    --with-native-system-header-dir=/opt/crosstools/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include \
    --with-sysroot=/opt/crosstools/arm-linux-gnueabihf/SYSROOT

The meaning of the configure options:

--with-newlib
Since a working C library is not yet available, this ensures that the inhibit_libc constant is defined when building libgcc. This prevents the compiling of any code that requires libc support.
--without-headers
When creating a complete cross-compiler, GCC requires standard headers compatible with the target system. For our purposes these headers will not be needed. This switch prevents GCC from looking for them.
--with-local-prefix=/tools
The local prefix is the location in the system that GCC will search for locally installed include files. The default is /usr/local. Setting this to /tools helps keep the host location of /usr/local out of this GCC's search path.
--with-native-system-header-dir=/tools/include
By default GCC searches /usr/include for system headers. In conjunction with the sysroot switch, this would normally translate to $LFS/usr/include. However the headers that will be installed in the next two sections will go to $LFS/tools/include. This switch ensures that gcc will find them correctly. In the second pass of GCC, this same switch will ensure that no headers from the host system are found.
--disable-shared
This switch forces GCC to link its internal libraries statically. We do this to avoid possible issues with the host system.
--disable-decimal-float, --disable-threads, --disable-libatomic, --disable-libgomp, --disable-libmpx, --disable-libquadmath, --disable-libssp, --disable-libvtv, --disable-libstdcxx
These switches disable support for the decimal floating point extension, threading, libatomic, libgomp (Gnu OpenMP), libmpx, libquadmath, libssp (Stack Smashing Protector https://wiki.osdev.org/Stack_Smashing_Protector), libvtv, and the C++ standard library respectively. These features will fail to compile when building a cross-compiler and are not necessary for the task of cross-compiling the temporary libc.
--disable-multilib
On x86_64, LFS does not yet support a multilib configuration. This switch is harmless for x86.
--enable-languages=c,c++
This option ensures that only the C and C++ compilers are built. These are the only languages needed now.
