That is not the case. The `depends on` is not about putting them on
abstractions, but on this experimental build feature, which is gated
on `EXPERT` to begin with, because it uses a fairly exotic approach
involving LLVM bitcode, which carries potential pitfalls, like the
mismatches on the target string like one of the commit messages
mentions, and possibly others.

Cheers,
