Thanks to Xi. I also learned a lot from installing the LFS distro.
One more serious typo in the efivars section of efi fan guide is :
"make libdir="/usr/lib/" bindir="/usr/bin/" \
mandir="/usr/share/man/" \
includedir=/usr/include/" V=1 -j1"
Use the make install command just below:
make -j1 V=1 DESTDIR="${pkgdir}/" libdir="/usr/lib/" \
bindir="/usr/bin/" mandir="/usr/share/man" \
includedir="/usr/include/" installOr just simply use the:
make -j1 V=1
Because the default setting of efivars package already set for all critic variables.

Frankly speaking, there are lot of bugs even following the UEFI guide provided by LFS book. I just name a few:
No, this is not provided by LFS book. The hints are written by fans.
1. The efivars version in this guilde is 30, and not working for my VirualBox pc. I use version efivars 34.
I'm using efivars 31. I just gone to efivars homepage and got the
latest version when I was building LFS.
2. The installation guide of popt in the UEFI guide is also not working for my env, so I have to follow the guide in
the BLFS book section for popt installation.
Yes, my efivars-31 links to shared libpopt. Static libpopt is not
necessary and we should use BLFS guide.
3. The grub.cfg setting is a disaster for my env. Because the VB pc recognize my hard disk as hd1 instead of hd0. And
the vmlinuz image should put to the root folder of /boot (/dev/sda2 in my PC), and the /boot/vmlinuz is never working
for my pc.
grub.cfg must be customized. I always build GRUB with devmapper
support, and use PARTUUID to find partitions.
(Or my system won't boot with an USB stick plugged in).
The only thing we can learn from the example is
insmod efi_gop
insmod efi_uga
insmod font
if loadfont ... then
... ...
fi
If you are using a seperated /boot partition (LFS book 2.4.1.4),
you should "set root=(</boot partition>)" and use "/vmlinuz"
in grub.cfg. If not, "set root=(<root partition>) and use
"/boot/vmlinuz".
