There are several good reasons for circular build-time dependencies. For example, every self-hosting compiler build-depends on itself (many of them can be bootstrapped, but I'm not sure we want to require bootstrapping on every build - and some require manual bootstrapping work). -- Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho, Debian developer http://www.iki.fi/gaia/
