I read in an old LFS thread that it could be lack of Flex in the host 
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-support/2005-October/028633.html

Flex is not listed in the book as a requirement, but I'll try adding it
(it's a pain as I need to remaster a DVD each time I need to add
something to this host).

Cheers,

R.
