I already built successfully LFS-7.2 on a PowerPC G4 with ALFS.
It is maybe good to know that I never can run the build in one move. I get sometimes a segmentation error when building gcc or glibc. It is not reproducable: when I retry (with make -C $LFS/jhalfs) then it succeeds or it ends with a segfault in another point of the build process. It must have to do with the limited system resources (1.972 GB RAM and 3.660 swap space) or a latency problem. I try to avoid this by disabling as much systemd services as possible and by extending the stack space. The error, I am struggling with, appears when I am so lucky to finish the build of glibc.
Programs working and failing randomly really point to HW problems. Depending on the exact model, PPC G4s go back to 1999.
You should be able to build with 2G RAM+3G swap, so that is probably not the issue.
