[Buildroot] qt5webkit and bison 3.0

[Matthias Hardt]

Hi,

the current buildroot-repository uses bison 3.0. When building qt5webkit,
there is a known incompatibility to this bison version [1].
For now I fixed this by using bison 2.7.1 when qt5webkit is chosen. Maybe this
should be done in the repository as well (at least while waiting for the 
qt5webkit 5.1.2 release which will fix this issue).

And some other minor inconvenience. qt5webkit needs dependencies to host-flex
and host-bison.

I can provide a patch for both issues, if needed.

Best regards,
Matthias

Thanks for the report! We actually have a patch in our queue
(http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/276231/) that bumps the qt5 version
to qt 5.1.1. Maybe the fix for the issue you're mentioning is already
included in qt 5.1.1 ? Hopefully, Peter will apply this bump soon.

As per the missing host-flex and host-bison dependencies, indeed,
a patch is welcome.

I am however a bit surprised that our autobuilders don't seem to have
hit the problem.

Best regards,

Thomas
