I ran the same build on that machine ( make clean host-erlang-rebar ).
It ran without error and printed the following early in the build
step.

make[1]: Entering directory
`/usr/lfs/v0/rc-buildroot/output/build/host-erlang-rebar-2.6.4'
./bootstrap
No beam files found.
Recompile: src/rebar
Recompile: src/rebar_abnfc_compiler

As a note, that machine doesn't have escript, ie I go into the
host-erlang-rebar folder and if I run the bootstrap --help I get a
escript error  (which is expected).
./bootstrap --help
/usr/bin/env: escript: No such file or directory


I'll run the complete build a few times and see if anything pops up.
