Policy on circular build deps?

[Richard W.M. Jones]

Is there a policy on whether circular build dependencies are permitted
or not?  The nearest I can find is this (obsolete?) page:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/PackagesNeedingBootstrap

MinGW has one hard circular dependency which will require rel-eng
cooperation to build first time[1], but we also have another one which
is only a "nice to have" (mingw32-iconv & mingw32-gettext[2]).

Rich.
