The help2man script is pretty useless to us. It requires to run the target binary to extract help information which is not possible for any of our cross compiled target binaries. We're not interested in man pages for -cross/-native tools. It therefore makes no sense to have this as a core build dependency. This patch removes the dependeny and replaces it with a script returning false. This will trigger autotool's missing utility to use the copy of the man page included with the sources which is what would already happen when we tried to run cross compiled binaries anyway.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation
