That's my concern too, so I've been working on a script to evaluate the build
order and spot circular build dependencies for my local repo, and manually
inserting conditional buildreqs based on %{?perl_bootstrap} where appropriate.
I've worked out that I can rebuild my repo in 27 passes at the moment, plus an
extra one to rebuild without %{?perl_bootstrap} set afterwards.

I'm now going to look at doing something similar for Rawhide, which I'll
hopefully have ready by the time it comes to do the rebuild for Perl 5.16.
