[jira] [Commented] (IMPALA-12070) Don't build bison and autotools in the native-toolchain

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-12070?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17714665#comment-17714665 ]

----------------------------------------

    IMPALA-12070: Use autotools/bison from the OS rather than building it
    
    This stops building autoconf, automake, bison, and libtool.
    These utilities are already installed in the docker images,
    so this removes any code that used the toolchain version
    of these. This is useful from a license perspective, because
    several of these are GPL licensed. Removing them avoids any
    complications due to licensing, and it brings the native-toolchain
    code closer to compatibility with Apache Impala.
    
    This also removes unused build code for cyrus-sasl, krb5,
    and openssl. This code remains in the history and can be
    revived at any time.
    
    Testing:
     - Ran a full toolchain build

>            Reporter: Joe McDonnell
>            Assignee: Joe McDonnell
>            Priority: Major
>
> The native-toolchain builds autoconf, automake, libtool, and bison. However, these are completely unnecessary. These utilities are installed into the docker images used for the build, and almost all components use the utilities from OS rather than the toolchain.
> The only exceptions to this are pieces of old code that have been sitting around for 5+ years.
> We should stop building these as part of the toolchain. This helps reduce the references to GPL code in the repository.
