What exactly do you want to depend on? The rules normally are:
(a) use USE_TOOLS if possible
(b) mark all tools, esp. msgfmt and friends as needed
(c) mark all dependencies on libraries, even if they might exist
natively. buildlink3 should take care of deciding that.
(d) avoid included versions esp. of "dangerous" libraries, prefer
external dependencies
