The tools framework is quite simply the WRONG thing to use in this case!

If the run-time requirements are clear then a hard-coded DEPENDS is the
right thing to do!

For those platforms which come ready with the right (and up-to-date)
tools in their base configurations then the g* tools need only install
the appropriate symlinks!

This really shouldn't be so complicated.  K.I.S.S.  Use the right tool
for the job.  Etc., etc., etc.  All these "frameworks" just get in the way!
