Bug#715413: bc is needed to build a kernel 3.9
Package: linux-source-3.9
Version: 3.9.6-1
Severity: normal
This package should recommend bc (the GNU command-line calculator),
because it is otherwise impossible to build a kernel -- see around line
135 of kernel/Makefile:
quiet_cmd_bc = BC $@
cmd_bc = bc -q $(filter-out FORCE,$^) > $@
Note that all this was not present in kernel 3.2
