Hello,
gcc is actually a dependency package, even if it contain some file,
mainly wrappers or symlinks. We try to avoid a "dumb" report against a
package which probably is not the one you have problem with, but still
allow to select it in the menu if you really meant to. This behavior
will not be changed.
Cheers,
