I've had a quick look at the 'ld.log' file and the tests which have failed

tmpdir/vnp >tmpdir/vnp.out
diff tmpdir/vnp.out /binutils-2.16.1/ld/testsuite/ld-elfvsb/elfvsb.dat
9c9
< shlib_shlibcall2 () == 7

FAIL: visibility (protected) (non PIC)

Anyway, I'm not after any detailed diagnosis, merely a little quick
reassurance [given that the failing tests involve 'ld', a key system
component] before proceeding any further and possibly creating a 'broken'
build.
I wondered about the visibility tests when I saw the number of
failures. Yes, I've seen this, but I think it was on ppc64 multilib
clfs! The good news is that the basic system worked ok, as if the
failure might be in the test code. I haven't completed a regular LFS
with tests for some weeks, but I wouldn't expect these failures on x86.
Which kernel version are you using, and what host system and cpu ?
