I guess the libraries required for the default build (i.e. the ones for which you need to explicitly say `--without-foo` to build Emacs without support for them) would be the main ones missing: - image libraries - gnutls: very important nowadays to support accessing ELPA repositories via HTTPS, sending Email via authenticated SMTP, reading email via IMAP, ... - xml2, for HTML rendering when reading mail and in eww, and I think it's also used by various other packages. -- Stefan
