Verifying correct Binutils-2.23.2 Pass 1

All,

I am attempting to install LFS, and upon completion of the first pass of Binutils (LFS version 7.4, Paragraph 5.4), I found that Binutils should supply both libbfd.{a,so} and libopcodes.{a,so}. However, upon reviewing the system after the final "make install" call, I noticed that neither libbfd.{a,so} nor libopcodes.{a,so} are installed and that my ./configure output states,

Code:
checking whether to install libbfd... no
Checking known-good LFS logs at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/build-logs/7.4/, the LFS logs also show the same indication that libbfd should not be installed.

Thus, 3 Questions:
1) How can I verify that the Binutils install is complete, bug-free, and fully operational?
2) Will the missing libopcodes.{a,so} negatively affect subsequent package builds or any other process as I continue to install the LFS system?
3) Why does Binutils not install libbfd.{a,so} on the first pass? (Though, it appears to do so on the second pass according to LFS build logs.)

System Info:

More or less the only way to confirm this during the tools building stage is to proceed to the next package.

Where did you get that info?

The Contents of Binutils from chapter 6.13 isn't in any way accurate for chapter 5 (5 being a temporary environment set up to be able to build chapter 6).

If no errors show up during the build you can safely assume that the steps where done correctly.

As already stated by ReaperX7: the only way to confirm this during the tools building stage is to proceed to the next package[s].

Perfect! You both have provided great feedback and have satisfied my curiosity. Thank you kindly.

You are correct in assuming that I was referencing Chapter 6 Contents of Binutils section.
