hmm, here all of the TL binaries link with libc, most of them also
with libm, and cfftot1, mmafm, mmpfb, otfinfo, otftotfm, t1dotlessj,
t1lint, t1reencode and t1testpage also with libstdc++ and libgcc_s;
xdvipdfmx and xetex have additional _direct_ dependencies:

$ cd .../inst/bin/i386-unknown-netbsdelf3.1.
$ for f in *; do
> [ -f $f -a ! -h $f ] || continue;
> echo $f:;
> readelf -d $f | grep NEEDED;

Is this considered a bug?

I don't have xorg, and I use xdvi regularly... ;-)
