Can you elaborate more on NO external dependencies?

To build mach from the archived bootstrap compiler, you need clang. That's it. git to clone the repo and a C compiler. That goes all the way through the self hosted compiler. Mach doesn't rely on LLVM, doesn't link to libc, doesn't use system linkers for object file management, etc. Everything is "in house".
