I really can't imagine when it would not be a bug; in some cases, it
may just be a wishlist or minor bug because the libraries don't expose
the proper interfaces or need to be modified before being compiled. In
either case, the proper solution is to eventually fix the interfaces
or library so the extra code can be jettisoned.
