But is this something we really want to encourage? The general assumption
should be that, at runtime, you have libs at least as new as the build-time

That said, this dependency could be switched to bl3 files using
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS and BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED with all the usual connotations
of that.
