Ahhhhhh! I believe I have found the source of my difficulties. I got the LiveCD in mid December, and downloaded the current book, 6.1.1.
Well, it turns out that the book talks about installing perl-5.8.7 in Ch-5. My CD had 5.8.6! I had done a cut and paste from the book to build scripts for Ch 5 & 6, and that caused a little confusion I recall. I had to use the patch for 5.8.6 in the script, but when it was all finished, per the script, it went into /lfs/tools/lib/perl/5.8.7/. Not good, since internally it has addresses for .../5.8.6/! The most recent date for the sources on the LiveCD was 7/6/05, and that seems to correspond with book-6.1(.0), which I have now retrieved from the archive. Now I guess I need to find a 6.1.0-6.1.1 changelog so I can have a clue what's been changed, so which of my scripts might also be wrong. May I suggest that in future releases the LiveCD also contains the book relevant for each specific release?
