I've got a problem with my logging, still investigating that, but
then I took a look at /tmp to see what as there, and was surprised to
find one enormous (2.1G) file, as well as the expected scattering of
others:

The lfsRZmWho file looks as if it came from glibc, and strings
indicates it only contains 'Hello'. For most people, just a
curiosity (I'm sure the name is random), but I mount /tmp as a tmpfs
on a normal system, so I'm likely to throw away 2GB by not cleaning
it.
I have just finished a few basic BLFS packages in 7.9-rc1 chroot. My
technique is to build BLFS packages in /tmp, so what I have there right
now is:
$ ls /mnt/lfs/tmp -a
. .. gnutls libffi libtasn1 lsb-release nettle openssl p11-kit
sudo wget which
I would say that most of those packages you have are artifacts of your
scripts. I have seen cc* files before generated by some packages.
Try to figure out what was happening at Feb 15 04:06.
