There is a build dependency on findutils, which causes a dependency loop with libselinux when building a sysroot using pcre2 and selinux flags. Since the latest stable libpcre2 has EAPI=7, the findutils dependency can be moved to BDEPEND so it is only required to be installed on the root. I verified this with "emerge --rage-clean findutils" then "emerge --nodeps libpcre2" in the sysroot. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Install libpcre2 in a new sysroot with USE="selinux pcre2". Actual Results: Emerge fails with the dependency loop: libpcre2 -> findutils -> libselinux -> libpcre2 Expected Results: The install should succeed without having to break the dependency loop since the findutils commands are only run from the native root file system. This is just a minor feature request so I can drop a bootstrapping phase. I am assuming findutils is in DEPEND as a carryover from EAPI=6 since the package only installs two programs and no libraries, but feel free to close this if I am missing something that makes it an actual build dependency.
