+#   all              Build liblxml_etree.{a,so}, liblxml_elementpath.{a,so}, and the functional test ELF
 #   test             Run the functional test ELF on nanvixd.elf

 #   verify-package   Verify the contents of the release tarball
 #   clean            Remove build artifacts
+#
+# Dependencies:
+#   The shared-library build requires:
+#   * The Nanvix dynamic loader to honour `.init_array` constructors and
+#     DT_NEEDED resolution chains (esaurez/nanvix#27).
+#   * `libxml2.so`, `libxslt.so`, and `libexslt.so` to be present in the
+#     buildroot, shipped by the companion releases of esaurez/libxml2 and
+#     esaurez/libxslt.
+#   liblxml_etree.so is linked with DT_NEEDED libxslt.so libexslt.so
+#   libxml2.so so the loader pulls the lower-level libraries
+#   automatically at dlopen time, eliminating per-module duplication.
