As stated in Part III, page iii, General Compilation Instructions, Second 'Important' 
note:

3. For each package:

    a. Using the tar program, extract the package to be built.

    b. Change to the directory created when the package was extracted.

    ...

So we assume starting in the directory  $LFS/sources/glibc-2.42/, or
in Chapters 7 and 8 just /sources/glibc-2.42.

The only time we say to change directories is

   mkdir -v build
   cd       build

Don't read things into the instructions that are not there.  All other
commands use either relative directory locations or absolute directory paths.
