   To name those usually not present on the system:
   flex bison expat-devel zlib-devel python-devel texinfo

Only required when having modified files that are used as input for
generation, I tend to make a tarball with freshly regenerated files
and push that to the host I wish to test.  So no need for any of that
on the build platform.

   for testsuite at least:
   dejagnu gcc-gfortran gcc-java gcc-objc prelink fpc gcc-gnat glibc-static valgrind

And tcl.  The testsuite is a bit awkward to get up at times, fully agree there.
