New comment by ahesford on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/35082#issuecomment-1015513909 Comment: The only "waste" here is because our build infrastructure doesn't properly handle dependency resolution. Eventuallyâ„¢ this problem will go away and I don't think we should be too aggressive in codifying the current limitations of the build infrastructure into templates. I recommend the `hostmakedepends` trick because I think it's less of a hassle than maintaining our own copies of files that will ultimately become outdated.
