"/usr/etc" should not exist on any FHS-compilant distro, but
"/usr/share/config.site" exists on many distros.
My suggestion is to add `export CONFIG_SITE=/dev/null` in
/home/lfs/.bashrc. It
would override the default config.site search rule.
I don't know that we have ${prefix}/etc/config.site. I do not. I
do
have /usr/etc/xdg/autostart/xfce4-notifyd.desktop that was installed
yesterday when I updated xfce4-notifyd.
We probably need to specify --sysconfdir=/etc for that.
As an example, fedora has /usr/share/config.site in the autoconf
package. This one is smart and is skipped in case of cross compilation,
but just in case, I second Xi Ruoyao's proposal. Or even to have
CONFIG_SITE=$LFS/usr/share/config.site
We might then create a config.site for our own use, for example with
prefix=/usr
sysconfdir=/etc
localestatedir=/var
sharedstatedir=/var
That would prevent the need to have those in the configure commands...
It would hide those entries. I'd rather be specific in the book.

No, that will cause some unexpected behavior.
To fix some typical non-FHS directories we should explicitly check them, like:
if [ sysconfdir = "/usr/etc" ]; then
sysconfdir=/etc
