I'm trying to bullet-proof my kernel maint.
Right now,  I see the following dependency cascade:

                linux-2.4.19 requires
                glibc-2.2.5 requires
                gcc-3.2 requires
                binutils-2.12.90.0.15 requires
                gettext-0.11.5

I stumbled onto the gettext req when running the lot
on a couple of systems where we neglected to install it from the distro.
(Worth noting,  along with a bazillion other reqs like shells!)
What else might be omitted?   (naughty!)

The tool chain appears to fork:

                strace-4.4 requires
                gdb-5.2.1 requires
                glibc-2.2.5 ... and so on ...

where both the kernel and GDB need GLIBC
but do not depend on each other  (and 'strace' needs GDB?).

It's been  *months*  since I twiddled this.   So I'm checking
my work,  making a list.   ("and checking it twice!")   Thoughts?
Thanks!
