 > The core of the issue has not been really identified, but it turns out
 > that neither mksiglist nor mksignames is used during the build. This has
 > been tested with a minimal sudo with no option, and with a sudo with all
 > options enabled (linux-pam, zlib, opensldap, and openssl), with the
 > three types of C libraries (glibc, musl, and uClibc-ng).

 > Digging in the sudo buildsystem did not reveal an obvious reason when
 > those would be needed either.

 > Drop the hook now it seems it is no longer used and is atually breaking
 > the build.

 > Fixes: http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/72f/72ff18fb9b41394a29006f881ee1fbea67a66a09/

 > Note that there is a second issue in there: the call to the host cpp
 > fails, but since it is on the LHS of a pipe, the error is lost, as the
 > RHS of the pipe (the sed call) succeeds; a fix for that will be sent
 > in a separate patch.
