So is this a circular dependency chain?

perl DEPENDS on eglibc
eglibc (because of eglibc-mtrace) RDEPENDS on perl?

If so, doesn't this solution leave eglibc-mtrace with an incomplete set
of dependencies in it's final package meta-data?

Would the correct solution be to break eglibc-mtrace out into a separate
recipe.

eglibc-mtrace.bb could then DEPENDS=eglibc and RDEPENDS=perl and
poky-tiny would need to be able to exclude eglibc-mtrace.
