ALFS does not have a lot of dependencies. The major parts would exist in any distro that correctly has its toolchain packages (gcc,glibc,binutils) set up. You can try running "sudo apt-get install build-essential" on your host, but if this does not provide the results you are looking for, there is simply a package or two that was hacked up a bit too much in Ubuntu to provide even a basic build environment.
