One of the reasons why I believe that the major Linux distributions are
fundamentally flawed - their build process doesn't account for such
dependencies. Point for BSD.
The escape from this circular dependency is to build those packages manually
which may require cheating in the configure and build process a bit. Or
install them from a binary package (which may require --nodeps and --force
to install). General rule therefore should be to only do such distribution
package builds on systems which have a maximum installation.
