Details

In order to install core/make, the following packages from extra must be installed too:

- guile

- - gc (dependency of guile)
- - libatomic_ops (dependency of gc)

This breaks the feature of self-contained core and means that any guile/gc/libatomic_ops updates do not go through the [testing] process, thus potentially breaking make.
This task depends upon

Correction: gc does not link to libatomic_ops, the configure check reports that none is needed. So it can simply be dropped from the gc dependencies.

Does anything actually use guile support in make? I'd rather disable that instead.

gc-8.0.4-2 removed libatomic_ops from the list of its dependencies.
