Just realised, there was a line in my setenv.sh which read:
echo "export LC_ALL PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
which I copied directly from the hint. However in section 4.4
Setting Up The Environment my book says
export LFS LC_ALL PATH
I modified setenv.sh to reflect this and used
echo "export LFS LC_ALL PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
Not sure what this is doing but could it have been the source of my problems?
