(and gcc). Point noted, and I realise you've already submitted a bug to have this dealt with. However, I wonder just how much effort is required and/or should be put in to discovering and subsequently documenting the requirements. Is it simply a case of going through several really old hosts to see which ones can't build chapter 5? Or were you intending someone basically build an LFS-6.1/unstable system but replacing each of the packages with old versions until that system can no longer build LFS?
I don't know for sure. The first method combined with selective package upgrades on that old host looks right. As the first step, however, I recommand just going through the README and INSTALL files (although I know there are errors and omissions). That would be a reasonable approximation of the real requirements.
