It's a pity that this thread went this way. The sh->bash link is one of the
mildest requirement of the hostreqs. I have built LFS a lot of times with
/bin/sh->dash on Debian.

What I think the original poster is missing is a bunch of libxxx-dev packages,
because a normal Unbuntu installation does not have them. But since he did not
send the error he was getting, it is hard to help more. I have built LFS on
Ubuntu 12.10, but I am sorry I have not taken a note of what I had to install.
At least libc6-dev, libncuses5-dev, and surely others. The hostreqs page do
not test their presence (actually, those packages contain mainly the
headerfiles *.h).

Pierre
