Do I understand correctly, that gcc requires make [0]? Therefore at
this stage, it should be enough to have `BuildRequires: gcc` and
hence such packages should not be on your list?
Please don't rely on gcc requiring make. This is an internal
implementation detail of the gcc package, and hopefully one day
we'll be able to drop this dependency.
If a package uses make directly, it should BR:make itself.
