Hello,

Unfortunately, this means that fakedate is only installed at the end of
the toolchain build process. So the entire toolchain is built without
fakedate installed.

Is it because we assume that the toolchain build process is safe (i.e
it doesn't call "date") ?

Perhaps it should be added in DEPENDENCIES_HOST_PREREQ instead ?

Best regards,

Thomas
