Why on earth do they need "ed"? Why don't they fix their build system to build fbc for the host? See https://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/140001/ for the feedback from OpenEmbedded people. I really don't think there's a compelling reason to upgrade to 1.07.1 for now, so let's keep 1.06 and avoid this mess. I've mailed the submitter of the OE patch, who said he would contact the upstream GNU bc maintainer, in order to see if he got some feedback. You are in Cc of this e-mail. In addition, there was an issue in your patch: GNU bc has moved to GNU GPLv3+ since this 1.07.1 release, so the licensing details should be fixed as well.
