Hi Ward,

And what about these M4 modules:

M4/1.4.17
M4/1.4.17-GCC-4.9.3-binutils-2.25
M4/1.4.17-GNU-4.9.3-2.25

I guess the first one can go (since it’s just a dependency to build 
binutils/2.25 as you mentioned below), but what’s the difference between 
GCC-4.9.3-binutils-2.25 and GCC-4.9.3-2.25?
