#2183: Host System Requirements not accurate

-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------
This is in response to the "required" symlinks mentioned in the host
system requirements section. The thread on lfs-dev that deals with this
begins at <http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-
dev/2008-April/061219.html>.
I bootstrapped LFS with the following symlinks:
1) /bin/sh -> /bin/dash
2) /usr/bin/awk -> /usr/bin/mawk
3) /usr/bin/yacc -> /usr/bin/byacc
The awk symlink required me to patch glibc-2.7 (already fixed upstream)
because a Makefile did not use ${AWK}. The patch is available at
<http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/glibc/glibc-2.7-awk-
may-not-be-gawk.patch> but should be replaced with a sed.
The book should revert the text that says that the above symlinks are
required to point to bash, gawk and bison respectively.
