Toolchain Pass 1 Question (6.4 vs dev)

Hi,

I am looking at the 6.4 release and the current development build
methods. Comparing Chapter 5.4 (toolchain/binutils - pass 1), 6.4 (and
6.3) have the line:

    CC="gcc -B/usr/bin/" ../binutils-2.18/configure ...

whereas the development build has:

    ../binutils-2.19/configure --target=$LFS_TGT ...

i.e. the CC= bit is missing (the same difference is there on the gcc
pass 1 instructions in the next section).

Is this an intentional change - for example, as a result of the new
build method - or is it an accidental result of the merge of Jeremy's
64-bit support? That is, does the --target= remove the need for the
CC= override?
