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.
