Oh! right this symlink which I mentioned was created as the last command
of section 6.4 in the given book version (i.e. 12.3). The command was:
`ln -sv bash $LFS/bin/sh`

Yeah, I am sure of it because as the chroot commands starts it sets the
root to $LFS. Leading to `/bin/bash` becomming `/mnt/lfs/bin/bash`.
Also, as an experiment I ran the command `which bash` which says
`/usr/bin/bash`. Then I ran the chroot command with this path to check if it
takes the bash from root, which it didn't. It again gave the same error
because there is no bash in `/mnt/lfs/usr/bin/bash` either.

I surely did add DESTDIR because otherwise the make install command
would have given error since it required root while I am lfs user to
run. --prefix was hard to forget as I copy pasted the command basically
but still there is a high possibility.

But since chown has changed the owner of all directories to root in
chapter 7's starting. Should I try rebuilding bash as root from its
tarball and see if it works? or change the ownership back to lfs and
then rebuild bash?
In that case would I need to rebuild binutils, gcc and packages that
I built after it again?
