Slackware non-'pathological'-install works fine in this respect: you're

What needs fixing is your rant borne from lack of understanding and goodness
knows what else ... .
Just to be perhaps even clearer:
--
* even a modicum of understanding of the thread - as opposed to some of
the recent off-the-cuff postings from the side - would let you realise
that a normal slackware installation is just fine for building gcc per
lfs instructions.
* it's not a distro issue per se: it's, roughly speaking, how gcc looks
into host-os and makes a slightly-less-than-rigourous assumption or two.

Likewise the mooted host-os-reqs adjustment should be similarly
straightforward.

Right now, I think folks at most want to adjust host-os-reqs.
Post-7.5, I think a better fix than that 'rm ...' is desirable and likely.
