So this commit adds:

# Check all tools used by make install
AS_IF([test "$HOSTOS" = "Linux"],
      [ERROR_IF_NO_PROG([groupadd])
       ERROR_IF_NO_PROG([useradd])
       ERROR_IF_NO_PROG([id])
       ERROR_IF_NO_PROG([chown])
       ERROR_IF_NO_PROG([chmod])
       ERROR_IF_NO_PROG([mkdir])
       ERROR_IF_NO_PROG([setfacl])])

But in the context of Buildroot, using groupadd, useradd, chown, chmod,
setfacl at install time cannot work, since we're not doing "make
install" as root.

So are we sure that adding host-acl as a dependency to get a host
variant of setfacl is really the good solution?

How is it handled for groupadd/useradd/chown/chmod today ?
