This was added because from the devtool script I couldn't find another way
to determine if the task is run or not. If I add "do_patch[noexec]" (which
logically doesn't change anything) even if task is deleted, I can check "if
'noexec' in d.getVarFlags(task, False)" and tell devtool to execute
do_configure task dependencies (to prepare gcc sources).
