Log:
Remove seemingly-unneeded artificial dependency

The rationale for this artificial dependency seems to have been lost to the
ravages of time, it is covered by no regression tests, and has no impact on
test-suite performance numbers on either x86 or PPC.

For the test suite, on both x86 and PPC, I ran the test suite 10 times (both as
a baseline and with this change), and found no statistically-significant
changes.  For PPC, I used a P7 box. For x86, I used an Intel Xeon E5430. Both
with -O3 -mcpu=native.

This was discussed on-list back in January, but I've not had a chance to run
the performance tests until today.
