If the error persists: no need to resend logs, but please try this out in the chroot: expr 426 + 1 I suspect that either bash has a problem with backquoted command substitution within unquoted here-documents or coreutils' expr is not working correctly. You should consider not using LFS if all of this doesn't make sense to you. ;-) Incidentally, the next chapter of the above LFS documentation also lists a bash patch. Did you use it?
