Did you check the md5sum?

$ md5sum systemd-231.tar.xz
2647855c8f9cdf824953f1091db2d2b2  systemd-231.tar.xz

$ tar -tf systemd-231.tar.xz|grep configure
systemd-231/configure
systemd-231/configure.ac

No I did not and should have, my bad. After backtracking I found that I 
downloaded the version from the  mentioned homepage at 
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/
Instead of downloading it from linuxfromscratch.org. Upgrading from sysv 
version to the system version and I did not check.

Sorry for wasting your time on something that obvious and I should have known 
better as the sysv manual was perfect. I am very new to the Linux community so 
I assumed version numbers are key especially coming from the official site.
Does this mean that someone took the official version, repacked it for LFS 
specific? Other scripts like that mentioned an LFS extension explicitly. Like 
the eudev or bootscripts tar balls. I realize now more then ever that that 
checksums are the truth

Learning as we go, so thank you for your patience to answer stuff like this. 
Will pay more attention in the future and go by checksums for now.
