assuming the $LFS partition is mounted and the link /tools is right and basic stuff like that

try
not in chroot

readelf -l /tools/bin/env | grep interpreter

The response should read:

Requesting program interpreter: /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2

If it doesn't, it means your glibc locking in stage didn't
get done correctly, and your software is still linking against stuff on
the host.

or you used a wrong patch or something and the path got messed up ??

i applied your command and the response was


Requesting program interpreter: /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2


which according to you is correct.

please tell me what else might be the problem.

perhaps i'm missing something but when you go to work on your new system
from within the soon to become old one
just become root
mount the lfs partition
then:
export LFS=/mnt/lfs

chroot $LFS /usr/bin/env -i \
HOME=/root TERM=$TERM PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin \
/bin/bash --login

and you are done with the
chroot command.
don't use it anymore
just use the prompt you get there to
do your work as if you are logged onto your new
operating system
(you are actually)

once you get inside the chroot environment
root for your lfs filesystem is no longer
/mnt/lfs
that's now a part of the other operating systems filesystem
in your chroot environment root is /
so you have /tools now
not /mnt/lfs/tools
and $LFS no longer exists

does that make sense ???
