Comment (by ionic@…):

 I have "determined" those dependencies by building `libffi` in trace mode.

 Those are the violations that popped up.

 Even though `libffi` built fine even without them, some of them may better
 be added to make it happy/not lose functionality in trace mode.

 I guess `port:autoconf` and `port:automake` should be added as build
 dependencies.

 `gsed`, `coreutils`, `grep` and `cctools` are redundant (the system-
 provided tools will work just fine.)

 I probably have to take a closer look at how exactly `autoconf`,
 `automake` and `texinfo` are being used during the build process exactly
 and decide once I know more.
