host-pkg-config depends on host-automake, which depends on
host-autoconf and host-libtool, themselves needing host-m4.

Are we going to become OpenEmebdded, and rebuild the entire host
distribution before building anything useful for the target?

Sorry, but the fact that when building a Busybox system, Buildroot
builds Busybox and nothing else is a very good property of Buildroot.
Let's keep it this way, thanks :-)

Best regards,

Thomas
