These two lines mean that configure has not run successfully.

This is before the last font, so, you must have many more errors before.

This is not a problem, it is in XORG_CONFIG for some other packages.

This means that you probably used

export XORG_PREFIX="<PREFIX>"

and

cat > /etc/profile.d/xorg.sh << "EOF"
XORG_PREFIX="<PREFIX>"
XORG_CONFIG="--prefix=$XORG_PREFIX --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var --disable-static"
export XORG_PREFIX XORG_CONFIG
EOF
chmod 644 /etc/profile.d/xorg.sh

without replacing <PREFIX> by an actual value, e.g. /usr

If your intention is to build Corg at /usr, those commands should be:

export XORG_PREFIX="/usr"

and

cat > /etc/profile.d/xorg.sh << "EOF"
XORG_PREFIX="/usr"
XORG_CONFIG="--prefix=$XORG_PREFIX --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var --disable-static"
export XORG_PREFIX XORG_CONFIG
EOF
chmod 644 /etc/profile.d/xorg.sh

If you have done correctly, there is another possibility: you are
building as root user and /etc/profile is not being sourced.

Please, from the same user you got the errors, send us the output of

whoami

and

echo $XORG_PREFIX


Please, *do not do the following* before others confirm what I am writing:


If the this last command gives nothing probably you need to fix xorg
from the beginning. And everything was installed at /usr/local, which
gives a problem, and I am not sure, but perhaps you would need to remove
the Xorg packages manually, before restarting.

BLFS does not recommend building as root.
