I am wondering because you are using debian as your host build system if you should check whether you have all of the available gcc packages installed (example gcc-4.1-base, gcc-4.1, libgcc32-1, etc.). This is just a shot in the dark as I don't use debian, but when I was using Mepis (a debian derivative) I seem to remember having to install other gcc files in order to build LFS correctly. I got this information from http://packages.debian.org/etch/gcc-4.1 but I am not sure if it will solve your problem.
