I adopted those packages from orphan status. It's for people who like to
manage their dependencies carefully. Thus one need only base-devel-meta as
explicit and the rest of the toolchain (gcc, patch, etc.) can be made into
dependencies without showing up in pacman -Qtd. I don't actually use those
packages.
