there are other tools e.g. memusage etc. which could be built in a
second pass and IMO
we should separate the eglibc-bin into  a separate recipe since
everything depends on system libc
its desirable that it should have few dependencies to build it so
builds can be more parallel and
eglibc wont be a bottleneck.
