This series is the culmination of at least a day of effort tracking down the
source of a module dependency cycle (!).  The last commit adds some guide
lines in the hope to avoid a repeat (perhaps 'lint' could be taught to
automate these checks).

Maxim Cournoyer (4):
  gnu: avr: Delay all cross compilation packages.
  gnu: embedded: Turn packages using top-level variables into
    procedures.
  gnu: Remove extraneous imports.
  doc: Add new 'Circular Module Dependencies' section.
