Make installs the following:

Installation of Make

Prepare Make to be compiled:

LDFLAGS="-static" ./configure --prefix=$LFS/static --disable-nls

Continue with compiling the package:

make

And finish off installing the package:

make install

During the make install phase you will see this warning:

chgrp: changing group of `/mnt/lfs/static/bin/make': Operation not permitted
/mnt/lfs/static/bin/make needs to be owned by group kmem and setgid;
otherwise the `-l' option will probably not work. You may need special
privileges to complete the installation of /mnt/lfs/static/bin/make.

You can safely ignore this warning. The make program doesn't actually need to be owned by group kmem and setgid for the -l option to work. (This option tells make not to start any new jobs when a certain load on the system has been reached.)
