A runtime dependency does *not* mean that an input should be
propagated.  Propagation is a solution of last resort.

Instead, try finding the places where 'bc' is referenced in the fish
source and replace it with the absolute path to the binary.

'fish' needs 'bc' as a propagated input. I have noticed runtime errors
due to absence of bc. It's also mentioned here:

https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell#runtime-dependencies

Quoting the relevant paragraph:

"fish requires a number of utilities to operate, which should be present
on any Unix, GNU/Linux or OS X system. These include (but are not
limited to) hostname, grep, awk, sed, which, and getopt. fish also
requires the bc program."
