The addition of this feature is desired since the glibc 2.3.4
installation (from LFS 6.1.1) calls mkdir with relative paths

You'll have a hard time convincing me of that. No glibc version I've ever
installed did this. I have an LFS system lying around that used 2.3.4
which has /usr/share/locale/* with proper permissions and I'm certain that
I didn't manually change the permissions of /usr/share/locale.
I've also installed glibc-2.4 just a few weeks ago and it worked fine.

I'm sorry but I think you are doing something wrong, probably a messed up
PATH.

Yes! You are devishly right:

(as root): echo 'echo $PATH' | su glibc
/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin

(as root): su glibc
package glibc:/usr/src/glibc> echo $PATH
/usr/lib/pkgusr:/bin:/usr/bin:/tools/bin

I am using the first approach to automate the LFS build process. It looks like 
in this case the .bash_profile file is not read. Why?
