yes. gperf is NOT required for glibc (or any other package in lfs)
and yes, all requirements are mentionned.

i never had to build gperf for lfs. and i'm building lfs for quite some 
years (my first lfs was 3.0). glibc builds fine without gperf if you 
follow the book.

i think you are the first with this issue. as far i can remenber i never 
have read about gperf issues so far. but as i'm getting older, my memory 
seems to have failures sometimes ;)

i just can say/write: FBBG (follow book, book good!)

if you have issues about missing gperf in lfs, you probably dont follow 
the book.


if you explain where you deviate from the book, maybe someone can help 
to find the 'wrong' part.


btw: later in blfs i build gperf as xcb-util requires it.
