      To preserve the installation order after libgcc adds a dependency on glibc (to express a version requirement for its use of _dl_find_object), we should try to preserve installation order despite the new glibc ⬄ libgcc dependency cycle.

      The RPM documentation suggests that using Requires(pre): is the way:

      It ensures that the package providing /usr/sbin/useradd is installed before this package. In presence of dependency loops, scriptlet dependencies are the only way to ensure correct install order.

      This change does not depend on the libgcc change and can be implemented first.
