While the build tool computes dependencies for a target it marks the
target as "in LIMBO" because any reference to it is undefined
until the target has been installed or updated.
If you see that message then you have a circular dependency.

Maybe. Circular dependencies should be avoided because there
is no deterministic path for resolving them. The result
might be broken too if you link with an old library that
gets updated later.
