Hey, some of the dependencies from this radare2 package are not up to date.

- libuv is no longer a dependency
- Capstone4 is 6 year old dependency and misses lots of important instructions mainly on x64 and arm64 so the analysis will be wrong in most modern binaries (spectre protections and pac stuff for
example)
- 5.8.2 is old, last release is 5.8.4 and it have several bugs fixed (ill release 5.8.6 in a week)
- Its creating an empty config.mk which is also wrong and probably the reason why its missing plugins
- libmagic from gnu is like 10 times slower than the implementation shipped in r2 which is based on openbsd code.

This causes several things to break, such as binary patching.
This task depends upon
