Please, make sure you are reading the latest stable LFS7.1: Stable LFS Errata: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/errata/stable
Stable LFS: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/ Below, reproduced from "General Compilation Instructions" of Chapter 5, which can found in: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter05/generalinstructions.html read "Important": <Quote>[...] Finally, one last important item must be emphasized: Important Before issuing the build instructions for a package, the package should be unpacked as user lfs, and a cd into the created directory should be performed. The build instructions assume that the bash shell is in use.</UnQuote> This is just for building the "tools". In next chapter, there are other instructions. Most respectfully, some advice follows. This book has been tested by many people, users and developers, for many years. Of course, there might be flaws, but not so many. When we start first time, the great amount of information is difficult to keep in mind and re-reading is essential, otherwise the time wasted will be enourmous.
