Below are the current "non Base" dependencies (and transitive dependencies) of
current "python3". As can be seen, "binutils" is now larger than all the other
dependencies combined.
Can we please, please address whatever exploded "binutils" size? Or perhaps once
and for all remove "binutils" as a dependency for "python3"? "binutils" is not
a runtime requirement for Python, only in the case where someone is utilizing
"ctypes", which one could argue is not a large enough percentage of users to
justify this.
