 lists *both* of them as required on your build host.

 anyway, you get the idea.

may times utilities have bugs or undesired behavior for OE so this
list is dynamic and sometimes
not all distro carry a certain version which OE expects and there are
ABI/format changes as it happened between svn 1.6 and 1.7

  fair enough, but what about the simpler example of gzip as opposed
to bzip2? it's just trying to understand what makes the list and what
doesn't.

gzip can be replaced by pigz and it can be used to provide gzip-native
