Those Utils aren't needed by most applications (in the same way that people haven't usually needed liboldX). Unfortunately, I'm fond of one old toy with a "here's the source, distribute it at will, all rights reserved" licence which needs xmkmf, so I build imake and xorg-cf-files just for that. But, I've dropped gccmakedep for 7.4 and I'm afraid I lost lndir around xorg-7.1. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
