This brings out the fun of circular depends. I don't really know how to

Adding a dep to libc almost everywhere seems extremely wrong to me. I
though we had decided many times that it was a bad idea.
Yes. Adding libc everywhere is wrong. However, if you don't have one of
the packages listed here [1], your libc won't ever update.
