kaiw> b) GNU and BSD tsort are probably incompatibible, you can see some

The warning turns out to be caused by the following:

- In "elf_memory.o", elf_memory() uses _libelf_ar_open() to open ar(1)
  archives.
- However, in "libelf_ar.o", the _libelf_ar_open_member() function
  in turn uses elf_memory() on archive members inside an archive.

>From the point of view of tsort(1) these two objects have a cyclic
dependency.  Bug #2038553 has been logged.
