Oooh, I know that one - because it happened to me. When you built lfs,
did you copy the headers over from /usr/src/linux, or did you install
the "sanitized" headers?

I actually had to make that mistake two or three times (what, me
stubborn?) before I learned that the lfs team knows more than I ever
will :-) Even if you installed a newer kernel than they have in the
book, use the book's headers.
Try reinstalling the headers per the lfs book and see if that doesn't
fix the float.h build problems.
[...]
Other headers (stdarg.h, stddef.h) were in the linux-2.6.8.1/include/linux
directory. I saved this when I first compiled the kernel for this build
(thankfully) and copied those to /usr/include.
Those sound like *raw* kernel headers, *not* the headers from
linux-libc-headers. Re-read what Peter said, then reinstall the
linux-libc-headers from the version that you used when you built the
system. Building userspace against "unsanitized" headers *will* give
you the sort of grief you seem to be experiencing.
