Description:
In strings, there is a program called conf_to_src which is used to generate some code - but it's not called from anywhere. Furthermore, even though it might be used to generate one of the files in libmystrings, it also links libmystrings.

How to repeat:
Look in the code. 

Suggested fix:
I'm suggesting that we remove it unless someone knows that we actually are using it still.

Thank you for a problem report.

At least in 5.1-BK in strings/ctype-extra.c, line 2, I see a text that this file was generated by conf_to_src utility. So, I assume, it is used somehow during build process. Please, check.

Yes, I found this file, but the utility isn't actually referenced in the Makefiles. Perhaps it's used by hand and the results checked in?
