LIBRARY_PATH is only set if you include 'gcc' or 'gcc-toolchain' in the
profile, and is generally only needed if you want to compile something.

I can't find a protobuf@2.6.0 package, but at least for 2.6.1 there are
no .a files in the default output.

The cyclic reference means something in the lib output references "out".
To find out which, try grepping for the store hash of the "out" output.
