Replying to [comment:4 cjones051073]:
> The linker should already be dealing with this. It should only actually
link the library if the target requires one of the symbols it provides.
Otherwise the linkage should be dropped and not appear in the end
binaries.
Ah, I didn't consider that. Still, at the very least, an unneeded
dependency is added. You already have
`legacysupport.newest_darwin_requires_legacy` for specifying that the
dependency etc. should not be added. I'm suggesting a more user-friendly
way of specifying that.
