It's needed for some uClibc combination, link-flat.so which uses elf2flt
pulls in libgcc according to uclibc/Makerules (used in uclibc/libc/Makefile.in).
Thus pull it in for gcc-initial.
This also ensures elf2flt is ready when BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_ELF2FLT=y before
building other packages.

This change is based on Gustavo's comment.
Test build for blackfin looks OK.
This patch replaces my previous patch
"dependencies: Add host prerequisite for elf2flt".

Actually pulling in host-elf2flt should depend on BINFMT_FLAT rather
than the package being selected, as per the patch i've just sent.
Regards.

Either looks ok to me. (I don't see the difference here.)
Probably not directly related to this topic, but I have a question about
the dependency between BR2_BINFMT_FLAT & BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_ELF2FLT.
Why not just make BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_ELF2FLT depend on BR2_BINFMT_FLAT
rather than "depends on BR2_arm || BR2_bfin || BR2_sh || BR2_sparc"?
I'm not familiar with sparc.
But according to current dependency setting, it's not possible to select
BR2_BINFMT_FLAT for sparc but it's possible to select BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_ELF2FLT
for sparc.
Regards,
Axel

As Gustavo pointed out (maybe on IRC ?), BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_ELF2FLT
should simply be removed. There is no need to have a Kconfig option to
host tools when they can simply be built as a dependency of something
else (which is the case here).
The only case for which we add a Kconfig option for host tools is when
this host tool is not built as a dependency of something else, and that
the user may still be interested in building it.
Best regards,
Thomas
