Your system was broken because you removed diffutils, which was not an orphan
and thus this wasnt safe to do, you *did not* run cleanse --prune afterwards
*then* you cast gcc. Removing diffutils is several degrees of freedom from
breaking your box IMO, or at the very least, its by itself a different class
of
problem than removing glibc or bash.

Note that adding diffutils (and other spells) to the sustained list does not
fix
this issue (both the user ignorance (in fact, it makes it worse) and a missing
dependency).

You should use gaze orphans to see what you can safely remove. Anything under
the basesystem tree (theres more than 36 actually due to subsequent depends),
will not show up as an orphan and thus cant be removed safely. Eventually you
should have only basesystem listed as an orphan.
