Not deferred, avoided, circumvented. Not the best solution, but it works. |

Stage 1 with the standard useflags does not have the problem either, but with |
9 |
some useflags it has. As such many people fail when using stage 1. The reason |

it is no longer suggested in the documentation. |

You have different useflags than others. Yours don't trigger it. Bootstrap.sh |

is for solving the initial bootstrapping interdependencies, not random |
