The problem is that the "cut" program isn't giving the expected output.
After some further experimentation, and checking with William Harrington
in IRC who got the same results, this problem only occurs when using
Coreutils 8.25 with the i18n patch that's in LFS.
SUSE has a considerably different set of patches for 8.25. This particular
issue is resolved by substituting the SUSE MB patch for the MB patch
provided by RH, but I'm not sure what kind of coverage we'll have from
this one. It's considerably different than the direction that RedHat is
taking (mentioned in my previous post), but less invasive that the one
we've used previously (no additional library - probably won't have to do
UNSAFE_CONFIGURE make check, but didn't test that way). Anyway, test
results look good (from a partially completed system with additional deps):

Options (as I see it):
1. Use the SUSE patch as is and keep an eye on upstream
2. Use the main RedHat patch (since we have a history with it) and grab
patches for cut, expand, and unexpand (the suspect ones from RH) from the
SUSE patch (SUSE patch is not dependent on additional libs).
3. Kill cut patch (and possibly expand/unexpand).
I do not like 2. Too invasive. I'm open to the others.
I'm going to give the SUSE patch a shot. I'll run it through jhalfs
tonight. Wanna get in a test run with new grep and texinfo anyway.
I've tested the new texinfo and the only thing that changes in the book is
version, size, and md5sum.
Will
upload the rediffed SUSE patch in a sec (can always kill it or increment
if one of the other options is selected).
I'll go with your recommendation, but we need to settle on it soon. I
plan on releasing LFS 7.9-rc1 on Sunday. After that we will be in a
package freeze until we can release a stable LFS/BLFS stable 7.9.
