In using your suggestion there is an additional "issue" too, an extra "cp"; anyway if you don't like an extra patch like, probably, many others, well, these are personal feelings and preferences :) Anyway, seeming to remember, there are some kernel headers installed (using "make headers_install") with wrong permissions, revealing when installing glibc; perhaps this issue is now solved, I don't know... (I built last lfs-dev last month) so sorry if I recall a "closed" issue. For the upstream I simply don't care about it... like some FHS standards...
