Note that /bin and /usr/bin ARE on the PATH, so even if the symlink
is broken, grep should still be found.
No idea what xpg4 is, nor why it created a directory below /usr, but
"your system, your rules".
Anyway, where IS grep ? If you have which installed,
$ which grep
or else (assuming you are using bash)
$ type -pa grep

I usually use
# ls -l /
on the host system to see how the system looks, but I always make
the symlink to /mnt/lfs/tools.
If you think the symlink is the problem, something like
$ touch /tools/foo
$ ls -l /tools/foo /mnt/lfs/tools/fu $LFS/tools/fu
(as the lfs user)

Indeed, it hasn't changed in ages. I don't recall seeing a problem
like this.
Hmm, you should have a config.log (or maybe more than one) from
binutils - search for that error message and see if the code
fragment above it gives a more-detailed error. I'm wondering if
grep has become damaged (e.g. linked to pcre, but then after an
update somehow broken).

And thanks for stepping up to test 8.1, I await your comments on
fontconfig etc when you get to BLFS with some trepidation ;)
