When a package foo is rebuilt by gxpkg, gxpkg automatically rebuilds all packages that depend on foo. Unhappily, it doesn't do it in a correct order such that if baz depends on bar that depends or foo, bar will be rebuilt before baz, and other dependencies of bar will be rebuilt if necessary.

Fix gxpkg to either do the right thing or not try to do too much and fail.

Note that :std/misc/concurrent-plan can help do the parallel (or then again sequential) execution of a topologically sorted plan, whereas :std/make contains an example of a topological sort algorithm that could be adapted (or factored out?) to handle builds at the inter-package granularity as well as at the intra-package granularity.

Is this still an issue?
I think it has been fixed with the nrw build planner for parallelization.
