That looks reasonable.  But complicated.  Perhaps you could try a
simple chroot and avoid some of the complexity.

  chroot /lfs /static/bin/bash

Or just:

  chroot /lfs

Do either of those work?

What is the output of:

  ldd /lfs/static/bin/env
  ldd /lfs/static/bin/bash
  ldd /lfs/bin/env
  ldd /lfs/bin/bash

For each of the libraries listed (if any) do they all exist in the
chroot /lfs area?  Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the lib directories in
the chroot area and see if ldd can resolve them there.

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lfs/usr/lib:/lfs/lib ldd /lfs/static/bin/env
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lfs/usr/lib:/lfs/lib ldd /lfs/static/bin/bash
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lfs/usr/lib:/lfs/lib ldd /lfs/bin/env
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lfs/usr/lib:/lfs/lib ldd /lfs/bin/bash

HTH,
