Configure can not properly determine the results of a few tests. Set them manually:

cat > config.cache << EOF
gl_cv_func_wcwidth_works=yes
gl_cv_func_btowc_eof=yes
ac_cv_func_malloc_0_nonnull=yes
ac_cv_func_realloc_0_nonnull=yes
gl_cv_func_mbrtowc_incomplete_state=yes
gl_cv_func_mbrtowc_nul_retval=yes
gl_cv_func_mbrtowc_null_arg=yes
gl_cv_func_mbrtowc_retval=yes
gl_cv_func_wcrtomb_retval=yes
EOF

Prepare Tar for compilation:

./configure --build=${CLFS_HOST} --host=${CLFS_TARGET} \
    --prefix=/usr --bindir=/bin --libexecdir=/usr/sbin \
    --cache-file=config.cache

Compile the package:

make

Install the package:

make DESTDIR=${CLFS} install
