lzip and zstd dependencies seem gratuitous #20

Closed SpecLad closed 9 months ago

As far as I can see, both of these are used to unpack a single package each (binutils and GMP, respectively). Both of those projects also publish .xz packages that are roughly of the same size. It would make it a bit easier to set up the build environment if you were to drop those dependencies and use the .xz packages instead.

While I agree with your analogy for lzip and xz, I have to disagree with zstd as its used by GCC to provide a compression backend for LTO instead of plain zlib.

Feel free to submit a PR, and I'll hapilly review and merge it.

Okay, but for that you need the zstd development files, right? Not the command-line tool.

You're mostly correct, but not all host distributions provide split packages (e.g. Arch).
