From my x86_64-64 build, which is now building its kernel:
2. e2fsprogs' configure fails because pkg-config is not installed.
The easy option is to just add it, as in LFS.
This is already dealt with in the book by using PKG_CONFIG=true, though
I agree it would be easier just to add pkg-config to the book.
3. I was unable to remove the coreutils directory after running
its testsuite, and counldn't umount the filesystem (in use). I
happened to have lsof on the host, that said it couldn't stat
a particular test file which it thought was a tmpfs (although it
was within the coreutils tests directory) and labelled '(deleted).
After remounting r/o during shutdown, and then rebooting, I
was able to remove it. Might be down to how I build, or might
turn out to be a common problem.
Someone on the LFS lists reported the same problem a while back. I
investigated and found that the Coreutils testsuite does mount something
in its source dir, though it should also be unmounted as well. I have
not figured out why it would not be unmounted - presumably the only
reason for that would be that the testsuite (or that particular test)
didn't finish. I did run across the problem once myself, though that was
while I was testing dependencies and had deliberately left out some
programs to see what would happen.

4. The iputils man-pages are not in doc/ : the patch creates
them in the top-level directory, so change
install -v -m644 doc/*.8 /usr/share/man/man8
to
install -v -m644 *.8 /usr/share/man/man8
They are in doc/* for me. Did you use -Np0 or -Np1 on that patch?
5. In general, I see no point in commenting on testsuites
unless the book is near to a release, but I think the
following are worth noting:
5.1 coreutils failed in the gnulib tests -
CC read-file.o
read-file.c:136: fatal error: opening dependency file
.deps/read-file.Tpo: Permission denied
compilation terminated.
make[5]: *** [read-file.o] Error 1
This should be covered by the chown command in the Coreutils instructions.
