branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2020.02.x
Upstream backports package does not define the LEX/YACC Makefile
variables, contrary to the Kernel which is defining those in [1]. The
default "lex" and "yacc" are then used. On some systems, "yacc" is
Berkeley Yacc. Kconfig parser files are using non-Posix Bison
constructs.
Attempting to generate the parser with byacc fails with error:
yacc: e - line 97 of "zconf.y", syntax error
%destructor {
^
This patch defines the LEX and YACC Makefile variable to use flex and
bison, to fix this issue. The host-bison and host-flex dependencies are
added only if the host does not have them, following the same logic of
the Kernel.
