This is needed for ctypes.util.find_library(). FWIW, on Linux, not only binutils is used, but also gcc. > Further, I noticed this dependency chain: > > python36 > libuuid-devel > pkg-config > libglib2.0_0 Until 3.7, the uuid stdlib module loads libuuid via ctypes, hence the dependency. In 3.7, there is a compiled binding, and so the -devel dependency was dropped. Also, pkgconf will soon be providing and replacing pkg-config, which will cause the glib2.0 dependency to be dropped. -- Yaakov -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
