Yeah, that is the commit I was referring to, but I am not sure what
that commit meant, i.e. if that were the case, then e.g. Rust would be
mandatory too since it is required for at least one build
configuration... :)

I guess the commit was trying to say "used in enough places" or
perhaps "the default config of at least one architecture" or "some
`make` targets" or a combination of all those, but it is not clear.

Cheers,
