You've been playing with solaris packages ? Google thingks xpg4 is
something to do with X/Open, but xpg4/bin gets mentioned in
questions about the differences between multiple versions of common
unix tools, usually on solaris, sometiems on HP-UX (for
POSIX-compliant versions of the tools, where the old vendor-supplied
versions are "limited").

Really ? It should be in /bin. That in itself is enough for it to
not be found - it's a user tool, for general use when searching
files and running scripts.

I hesitate to suggest logging what got installed (over the years, my
own scripts have failed to notice things which were older than when I
started building a package (shipped scripts and docs), failed to
notice some perl modules installed for biber at a very late stage
of the build (never did work out why), and now in general they add an
overhead (time, and particularly space) when I create before and after
logs for each package.
But I think you need *something* to tell you what changed, not
necessarily per-package, but at whatever you think is a "strategic
point" (e.g. finished LFS, finished first batch of BLFS packages,
etc). Perhaps something like this (deliberately ignoring /home) :
ls -lR /{/{,s}bin,opt,usr} | gzip - >files1.gz
and then continue, creating files2.gz, etc.
On my current partially-built system, those files are only 1.6MB,
at a guess they might reach 30MB or more by the time I've built
everything (things like texlive create a *lot* of files). And then
to see what changed between the point where you created files1.gz
and when you later created files2.gz you can zdiff them ( | less,
usually).
