+   :term:`INHIBIT_AUTOTOOLS_DEPS`
+      Prevents the :ref:`ref-classes-autotools` class from automatically adding its default build-time dependencies.
+
+      When a recipe inherits the :ref:`ref-classes-autotools` class, several native cross tools such as
+      ``autoconf-native``, ``automake-native``, ``libtool-native``, ``libtool-cross``
+      are added to :term:`DEPENDS` to support the ``autotools`` build process.
+
+      To prevent the build system from adding these dependencies automatically, set the
+      :term:`INHIBIT_AUTOTOOLS_DEPS` variable as follows::
+
+         INHIBIT_AUTOTOOLS_DEPS = "1"
+
+      By default, the value of :term:`INHIBIT_AUTOTOOLS_DEPS` is empty.
+      Setting it to "0" does not disable inhibition. Only the empty string will disable inhibition.
+
    :term:`INHIBIT_DEFAULT_DEPS`
       Prevents the default dependencies, namely the C compiler and standard
       C library (libc), from being added to :term:`DEPENDS`.
