The problem is that TIC_PATH is nor honored anymore in chapter
6, so that tic from the host is used to create the terminfo
database in chapter 6. The problem is that old versions of
tic create symlinks in the database, while newer versions
create hardlinks. Since we use a DESTDIR install in chapter 8
(with a recent version of ncurses, so with hardlinks), and copy
it in place with cp -a, then it seems that copying hardlinks to
symlinks. If an old version of tic has been used in chapter 6,
this copies hardlinks to symlinks, which creates symlinks
pointing to themselves (cp bug?).
Anyway, the solution is to copy the auxilliary tic built
in chapter 6 to $LFS/tools/bin (suggestion by Xi Ruoyao).
Now, there is no need to set TIC_PATH or whatever because this
tic is in the PATH.
Bug first reported by Marcin Dulak. Analysis with the help of
Bruce Dubbs and Thomas Trepl.

Without it, in the final system
/usr/lib/python3.13/config-3.13-$triple/libpython3.13.a is a remnant
from chapter 7 instead of being absent, defeating our will to save
space.
Make this consistent with addinguser.
Applying chown to a symlink actually affects its target, and here the
targets are in $LFS/usr and already covered.

Someone is really insistant on "you cannot have any extra whitespace" so
the hack will just not work. Let's drop it and simply move the
--enable-kernel= switches to the last line.

When we use -strip-unneeded it removes some symbols that are needed in static
libraries that may be needed in addition to debugging symbols. Changing the
stripping to the more conservative --strip-debug retains thise symbols.
In the case of libc.a the unstripped file size is 22.4 MB. Using
--strip-debug reduces the file size by 74 percent to 5.9 MB.
Using --strip-unneeded only reduces the file further by 89 KB,
so any gain is relatively trivial.

This seems just a remnant from the pre-cross-chap5 era. Now with the cross-
toolchain the build system cannot find guile headers and libraries, thus
guile should be disabled by default.
I've also tried this on a host distro with guile installed.
