Thomas, All,
On 2013-12-27 12:50 +0100, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> Since some time, we have removed the support to build a toolchain for
> the target, and therefore the support for several development tools on
> the target.
>
> This commit deprecates a few additional development tools: m4, bison,
> flex and gob2. For flex, we retain the ability to build libfl, we only
> deprecated the ability to build the flex binary itself.
>
> The original motivation for this patch is that m4 is causing build
> issues in some configurations, but there isn't really much incentive
> to fix this package for the target, since it is not really useful for
> embedded Linux systems.
>
> Bison, Flex and Gob2 are deprecated because they are reverse
> dependencies of m4.
