You can build anywhere you want, so long as it isn't $LFS/tools,
$LFS/dev, etc.
I happen not to like to build underneath the $LFS/sources directory.
The usual way I do it is
$LFS/sources tarballs
$LFS/build/package-version extracted tarballs
I then build in
$LFS/build/package-version
As a specific example,
$LFS/build/binutils-2.20
is the directory where I would extract the tarball and do the build.
The CWD would be
$LFS/build
when I extract the tarball, and the extraction process creates
$LFS/build/binutils-2.20
I then
$ cd binutils-2.20
$ ./configure
$ make
That's a personal preference. You can do it anywhere,
so long as it's not any of the other directories which
eventually get used, like
$LFS/dev
