I note this is the same issue as reported here

http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/lfs-support/2016-February/049602.html

although the 7.10 book doesn't mention it as a "potential/known" fail

I also can't see what the "fix" was from the quoted thread but it looks
like it is a "can be ignored" ?

In the referenced message it looked to me like a spacing issue in the output, but I cannot duplicate the failure.

In any case, one test out of 1741+ should not be a worry.
