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.

I'm almost done with the base LFS system. The error I am getting now is:

Makefile:1024: recipe for target 'modules_install' failed

I'm thinking that it is because I'm not installing any modules

This is what I entered to get to that point:

make>>make.fail 2>&1
make modules_install>>install.fail 2>&1
cp -v arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.3-lfs-7.5
cp -v System.map /boot/System.map-3.13.3
cp -v .config /boot/config-3.13.3
install -d /usr/share/doc/linux-3.13.3
cp -r Documentation/* /usr/share/doc/linux-3.13.3
chown -R 0:0 .
install -v -m755 -d /etc/modprobe.d
cat > /etc/modprobe.d/usb.conf << "EOF"
# Begin /etc/modprobe.d/usb.conf
install ohci_hcd /sbin/modprobe ehci_hcd ; /sbin/modprobe -i ohci_hcd ; true
install uhci_hcd /sbin/modprobe ehci_hcd ; /sbin/modprobe -i uhci_hcd ; true
# End /etc/modprobe.d/usb.conf
EOF
grep -E 'error|fail' {make,install}.fail
 

and this is the complete error log:
