meta package 'base-devel' causes problems with Ansible

Since the recent switch to the base-devel meta package, there is both a (new) meta package and the (old) package group:

$ pacman -Sgg base-devel
base-devel binutils
base-devel gcc
base-devel libtool

This causes problems when deploying an Arch Linux system with Ansible, see the bug report under: pacman: Install of group base-devel does not install member package make #6290

You should open a bug report against those three packages asking for them to be removed from the group.

Presumably that's FS#78108.

Looks like it's fixed in gcc 13.1.1-1, binutils 2.40-5 and libtool 2.4.7+4+g1ec8fa28-3 that are currently in the testing repo.
