Since some time, we have removed the support to build a toolchain for
the target, and therefore the support for several development tools on
the target.
This commit deprecates a few additional development tools: m4, bison,
flex and gob2. For flex, we retain the ability to build libfl, we only
deprecated the ability to build the flex binary itself.
The original motivation for this patch is that m4 is causing build
issues in some configurations, but there isn't really much incentive
to fix this package for the target, since it is not really useful for
embedded Linux systems.
Bison, Flex and Gob2 are deprecated because they are reverse
dependencies of m4.

This patch lines up the comments in Config.in files that clarify which
toolchain options the package depends on.

Bison needs m4 (at runtime). In addition, the bison 2.5 configure script
checks for m4 4.1.6 or newer, and bails out otherwise, but ends up looking
at whatever the build host has rather than the cross version, which might
not be the correct version (or even available).
Fix it by short circuiting the check.

Thanks to the pkgparentdir and pkgname functions, we can rewrite the
AUTOTARGETS macro in a way that avoids the need for each package to
repeat its name and the directory in which it is present.

The cleanup of $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/share/man, $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/man,
$(TARGET_DIR)/usr/share/info, $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/info,
$(TARGET_DIR)/usr/share/doc and $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/doc is already done
globally in the main Makefile. Therefore, there's no need to handle
that on a per-package basis.

We have been passing -q to ./configure when using 'make -s' for
packages using Makefile.autotools.in for some time. Do the same
for packages using autotools, but not using the
Makefile.autotools.in infrastructure, taking care to not do it
for packages with hand written configure scripts.

A C library will have been built by the toolchain makefiles, so there is no
need for packages to explicitly depend on uclibc.

they should be configured with --prefix=/usr and we then need to use
make DESTDIR=$(STAGING_DIR) install to get things installed into the
staging directory. The current situation for many packages, which use
--prefix=$(STAGING_DIR) results in the staging_dir paths getting compiled
into the binary itself.
This also adds in a pile of libtool fixups. Between broken pkgconfig,
broken libtool handling, and broken --prefix settings, its a wonder
things have worked as well as they have up till now.
