LFS 9.1 i386 no-systemd 6.9 Glibc-2.31 'No module named msvcrt'

Hi All,

I am building LFS 9.1 i386 on a Lenovo x61s using MX Linux 18 i386 as the host. Chapter 5 built fine, no errors. I am near the beginning of chapter 6, building Glibc from section 6.9. I mounted the virtual file systems correctly from section 6.2.2. and chrooted correctly from 6.4.

I am getting what looks like a Python module ('subprocess.py') reporting 'msvcrt' module as not found. It appears as though the system type is being mis-identified. I have applied the Glibc patch and applied the case switch for LSB compliance, created the 'build' sub-directory and 'cd'ed into the build directory. In addition, I ran the 'configure' command without any errors.

The compile log output is:
Code:make -r PARALLELMFLAGS="" -C .. objdir=`pwd` all
make[1]: Entering directory '/sources/glibc-2.31'

type "make help" for help with common glibc makefile targets
