Why not skip all essential/required packages and assume they're

kernel-headers and bin86 are unnecessary, because they're not needed
for compilation of the vast majority of packages (I've never had to
use either of them for m68k compiles (obviously I couldn't use
bin86)).

Why file?  cpp can be removed because gcc depends on it.  How about
automake?  makeinfo is needed for a lot of stuff, I would recommend
that but it's currently stuck inside tetex-bin.
