These are recipes where the upstream has moved to GPLv3 and these old
versions are the last ones under the GPLv2 license.
There are several reasons for making this move. There is a different
quality of service with these recipes in that they don't get security
fixes and upstream no longer care about them, in fact they're actively
hostile against people using old versions. The recipes tend to need a
different kind of maintenance to work with changes in the wider ecosystem
and there needs to be isolation between changes made in the v3 versions
and those in the v2 versions.
There are probably better ways to handle a "non-GPLv3" system but right
now having these in OE-Core makes them look like a first class citizen
when I believe they have potential for a variety of undesireable issues.
Moving them into a separate layer makes their different needs clearer, it
also makes it clear how many of these there are. Some are probably not
needed (e.g. mc), I also wonder whether some are useful (e.g. gmp)
since most things that use them are GPLv3 only already. Someone could
now more clearly see how to streamline the list of recipes here.
I'm proposing we mmove to this separate layer for 2.3 with its future
maintinership and testing to be determined in 2.4 and beyond.

While gcc6 used, build old groff (for anti-GPLv3 reasons) failed:
.....
|groff-1.18.1.4/src/devices/grolbp/charset.h:69:1: error: narrowing
conversion of '130' from 'int' to 'char' inside { } [-Wnarrowing]
......
In upstream git://git.savannah.gnu.org/groff.git,
the following commit fix the issue, but the license is GPLV3,
we could not backport it to the old groff which license is GPLV2.

bindir is transfered to Makefile as ${D}${bindir}, hence it should not
use DESTDIR as the prefix directory any more during the install.

The class itself currently does nothing. The idea is to mark all recipes that
make use of the texinfo utilities. In the future, this class could be used to
suppress the generation/formatting of documentation for performance,
explicitly track dependencies on these utilities, and eliminate Yocto's
current dependency on the host system's texinfo utilities.

Fix to take $D into consideration in pkg_postinst so that the postinst
script could run at rootfs time.
The existence of ${D} is ensured by the in base.bbclass.
do_install[dirs] = "${D} ${S} ${B}"
So there's no need for this do_install_prepend.
