I've updated the default linux_base to v8. I've also added some missing but requiered dependencies. I haven't changed anything else. Yes, the linux infrastructure needs an overhault. I know about it.

Even if you aren't serious about this, I've thought about this (making linux_base a meta-port with the possibility to depend on this meta-port).
