Please ignore the GCC field, go read the packaging manual, and use the
SetCC, SetCXX fields instead.

I am not sure if the GCC field has changed recently, but previously it was
simply meant to be informative that the package used g++ of a certain
version and thus had ABI issues. Fink never used to look at the field, don't
know if current versions do.
