Thanks Shawn for your explanation. In fact I had changed .bashrc to set PATH and PS1. I kinda overlooked umask at the time, I guess. I began to wonder if my set-up was right when I noticed that building LFS 6.2 (with BLFS 6.1 as host) in the chroot phase, I made group-writable system files, due to umask set at 0002.
