Dear all:
I don't understand the log message "build: Only compile actually
selected binaries" in commit ed7989e, which modifies the file
Makefile.tools. Gatttool and some other programs are only compiled and
do not been installed into system any more. I'm confused about it, why
did we do this?
Thanks.

some tools are only useful to developers. They should not be installed. We only install tools that are generally useful (or considered legacy like hciconfig).
The jump to BlueZ 5 came with a massive cleanup of our tools and only a selected few get installed. Main operation should be done with bluetoothctl these days.
Regards
Marcel
