awk, bison, flex, makeinfo, gettext should be built as dependencies of packages when needed. In practice, even the toolchain build doesn't need any of these, and only a few packages do require them. It is not needed to list gzip and bzip2 since they are already checked through ${DL_TOOLS}: whenever a package needs gzip or bzip2 for its extraction, the dependency is added.
