I am a bit confused. In this series, you suggest to make
host-flex/host-bison dependencies of the configuration step of Linux.
But in another series
(http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/list/?series=59260), you
suggest to make flex/bison hard requirements of Buildroot, so that we
don't have to build them.

Could you clarify in which direction you would like to go ? Also, if we
make bison/flex hard requirements of Buildroot, I'd like to have a
clear rule on whether we keep or not our host-bison/host-flex packages,
and if we keep them, when they should be used vs. when the system
bison/flex should be used.

Thanks!

Thomas
