           Summary: bison unnecessarily required as build dependency

        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
        ReportedBy: arved at arved.at
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
   Estimated Hours: 0.0


support/dependencies.sh requires that bison is installed on the host system.

This is unnecessary for packages that use bison, because buildroot supports to
depend on a host-bison.

The only other usage is in the kconfig build, but kconfig builds successfully
without bison before dependencies.sh is run. 

Suggested solution:
Remove bison from support/dependencies.sh

I agree, but I think bison on the host might be needed for the internal
toolchain backend, while building binutils/gcc/gdb. We would need to check
that, and add the needed dependency on host-bison where needed.
