 Hi Gopa, can you tell us what error(s) you got that made you decide
to look at config.log, please ?  Normally, config.log is only useful
after a failure to configure or make, and nothing here looks wrong.

 First, you may have multiple files called config.log in some of the
subdirectories (from outside chroot, try
 find /mnt/lfs -name 'config.log'
to see if there are indeed more of them).

 Usually the configure script itself puts its results on stderr,
so you get things like
 checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
- you might find it helpful to rerun configure, following the
command in the book with '| tee conflog 2>&1' to keep everything
in one file so that you can refer back to it afterwards.

 I'll comment on the one failed test in what you showed us -

 From memory, this is a test to see if it is building on, or for, one
of the BSDs.  Like many things in configure scripts, it's _expected_
to fail.
