You need modules unless compiling everything static, which usually is 
good in theory, but bad in practice unless a very embedded, specific 
hardware use.  Is that what you're doing?  If so, maybe lfs 
wants/expects modular kernels for its build tools.

Seems like those are likely dependent on something not being built 
elsewhere.

Why no modules?  Last time I tried to compile a kernel statically was 
probably circa 2008, eventually I just gave up tracing dependencies to 
get a slim-build kernel around my hardware.  I just added more space to 
my /boot partition eventually to deal with bloating kernel images as the 
alt is a real pita.
