A couple of dependencies are moved to the lilypond-doc package.

In gub/specs/cross/binutils.py I have commented-out a fix for
this by prepending 'FIXME_breaks_on_some_linuxes_'

    def FIXME_breaks_on_some_linuxes_install (self):
        # please document why this should be removed?
        cross.AutoBuild.install (self)
        self.system ('rm %(install_prefix)s%(cross_dir)s/lib/libiberty.a')

It seems that on some systems binutils *and* gcc build libiberty, on 
other systems only gcc does.  It looks like we need this fix but it
must be allowed to fail...

        self.system ('rm %(install_prefix)s%(cross_dir)s/lib/libiberty.a', 
                     ignore_errors=True)
