For what it's worth:
The Chapter 5 section titled "Stripping" is somewhat skewed. Here is
what I get when building exactly by the book (other than I use a user
different than the LFS user and I install the BC and Vim packages).

Now, after stripping using the following commands (which strips
a bit more even than what the book strips) I'm only seeing about
75 MB stripped out which is almost half what the book says:
find /tools/bin /tools/sbin /tools/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin /tools/libexec -type f
\
-exec /usr/bin/strip --strip-all {} \; >strip_binfiles.log 2>&1
cat strip_binfiles.log | grep -v "File format not recognized"
find /tools/lib -type f -exec /usr/bin/strip --strip-debug {} \;
>strip_libfiles.log 2>&1
cat strip_libfiles.log | grep -v "File format not recognized"

Now, after using the following commands to remove unneeded stuff (which
is even more than the book says to) I'm only seeing about 20 MB removed.
rm -v -rf /tools/{info,man,share/{doc,man}} >tools_cleanup.log 2>&1
rmdir -v /tools/var >>tools_cleanup.log 2>&1
