It seems it MAY be a problem with the isntallation of Gettext... but through

Save attempts to pass the blame until we accuse you ;)
The command it's getting hung up on, in the Makefile down in
/sources/binutil-build/bfd/po is GMSGFMT. Specifically,
gmsfmt = PATH=../src:$$PATH no
gmsfmt appears to be another command that is supposed to be installed by
gettext. But get thus, gmsfmt isn't even in the sources in the gettext tar.
It doesn't appear as though the code even exists to install it, at least as
far as the LFS livecd is concerned.
Am I crazy? Shouldn't there be something in the ./gettext-tools/src
directory for this GMSGFMT somewhere?

And please, don't top-post on these lists, and trim what you quote.
Yes, it looks as if you are now on the trail of the problem. Binutils
is a strange beast, and you will find separate config.log files
scattered through its directories. Read the config.log in bfd/po (or in
bfd if none present, else in binutils-build) looking for references to
gmsgfmt (or GMSGFMT - your text above is ambiguous about the
capitalization).
FWIW, the 'g' is a prefix sometimes when gnu programs are installed
onto other unices, but configure should be happy to accept msgfmt unless
it thinks you are on something strange ('config.guess').
