Description
The Build install-cf step tries to install /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and /etc/mail/submit.cf with group bin. Group (and user) bin is created in the portmap install but there is no need to install portmap before sendmail.
Creating group bin if it doesn't exist should be documented under sendmail.
I have not checked if any other packages also use bin without ensuring that it exists.

Replying to willimm:
This issue is invalidated with LFS 6.5 and higher, and besides, we are focusing on 6.5 anyway. Please close this ticket.
Because the bin user and group are already created for GDBM, which is required for Man-DB.

bin user and group are created in LFS and have been for many years.
