I am building LFS on a Sony laptop. It is the first LFS I have built on

There are 8 failures in the glibc tests, mostly in math (which the book
suggests are to be expected on non-intel/non-amd chips). The 2 getaddr
failures are also expected. But I also have fails in csu/test-multiarch
and nss/test-netdb. Are these significant?
That's hard to say without analyzing the actual failures. However 8
failures out of 2500 tests in a complex library like glibc is probably not
significant. The tests most likely make some implicit assumptions that
the processor does not satisfy.
