I'd always taken it for granted that m4, autoconf, automake etc. had to be in LFS, but recently I thought "Hang on! The auto-tools are *development* tools, not build tools. Building auto-tooled software only requires a shell, make, sed etc. You don't need autoconf and friends unless you want to develop software.".
So, since creating an LFS system only requires building existing software, why does it include the auto-tools? Could we not move them to BLFS? What am I missing here?
