That's how I had understood it.

The difference I see is that binutils is already a build dependency and
is always the first step. It's already there so depending on it doesn't
change anything. However this isn't the case for genlib.

Is it possible to build genlib with only the header set installed? That
would actually perfectly avoid my concerns.
Also does it have any kind of dependency on a given version of
mingw-w64?
