Is there an argument for making this an optional component. It would be

If you really don't want the dep you can configure with '--cxx=', and then
we'll fall back to "no C++ compiler, don't build C++-only bits".

One of my aims here is that I don't particularly want the A64
translator to be a second class citizen in terms of what features
it supports. Debug logs are generally useful (which is why they're
present) and being able to have end users grab a debug log is
nice for tracking down issues sometimes.

It's also very useful to just be able to do "x /i $pc" on the qemu monitor. So yes, a working disassembler is defintiely a must have.
