[Buildroot] [NEXT] glibc: depends on host-bison

[Ryan Coe]

Fixes the following build error:

checking if ./buildroot/output/host/bin/arm-rpi1-linux-gnueabihf-gcc is sufficient to build libc... yes
checking for arm-rpi1-linux-gnueabihf-nm... ./buildroot/output/host/bin/arm-rpi1-linux-gnueabihf-nm
checking for python3... python3
configure: error:
*** These critical programs are missing or too old: bison
*** Check the INSTALL file for required versions.

I've improved the commit log a bit:

 - To indicate which glibc upstream commit changed to making bison a
   hard requirement. This allows to confirm it isn't an "accident" but
   really an intentional move from glibc upstream.

 - By replacing the error log by a reference to an autobuilder failure.

Thanks a lot for this fix, applied to next!

Best regards,

Thomas
