I have been trying my hardest from keeping python out of the dependencies of gcc. Newer
Folks know python more than awk or shell it seems. Awk itself is a very powerful language. Especially when it comes to text processing. Even posix awk has stuff like array indexed by strings.

Right now all of the files generated by python are checked into the repo (a file which then get processed by awk anyways). I am hoping to keep it that way.

I should say those generated files could be empty and would not break the build, it would just not provide urls for options for warnings.
So it is not exactly a hard requirement if we are doing a real bootstrap.
