With those explicit dependencies on “make”, installing “make-guile” wouldn't allow you to build much else anymore. “make-guile” could perhaps provide “make”, but I'm a bit wary of such ambiguous dependencies among core packages. In my opinion, the presence of Guile support in make is a disservice to our users because other distributions (including downstreams) do not have it, so it creates non-portable programs if it is ever used. > Also "shrink the buildroot" for Make isn't a good enough reason to do > this, since we don't even include Make in the buildroot by default > anymore[1]. > > [1]: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_make_from_BuildRoot It still has to be downloaded and installed for most C/C++ builds.
