    <thetext>INHIBIT_AUTOTOOLS_DEPS used by autotools is lacking
a default value and is entirely undocumented

&gt; bitbake-getvar INHIBIT_AUTOTOOLS_DEPS

returns

&gt; The variable &apos;INHIBIT_AUTOTOOLS_DEPS&apos; is not defined

The code in autotools bbclass is doing a &quot;if d.getVar(&apos;INHIBIT_AUTOTOOLS_DEPS&apos;):&quot; only,
so having a documented and defined empty value will not impact functionality</thetext>

    <thetext>As per several other bugs opened of this type, we are not adding default values for the sake of it.

I do agree we should document variables where possible.</thetext>
