            Bug ID: 25799
           Summary: python dependency (as strict requirement)
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: build

Starting from=20
[c6982f7efc1c70fe2d6160a87ee44d871ac85ab0] it is impossible to build glibc
without python (configure would fail, as well as it is added to strict
requirements now), where previously it was only needed to build some manual=
 and
to run some tests.

But python itself needs glibc (to build or start).

This looks like a cyclic dependency, so for example it is interesting wheth=
er
it is ever possible now to compile that from scratch.
