Conceptually that makes no sense. sys-devel/gcc is the name of an
upstream package, so what does it even mean to mask it in one
repository but not in another? If it's the same package, then it
should behave in the same way, regardless of the repository its ebuild
it hosted in (or the package being installed, in which case it is no
longer in an ebuild repository).

If it is a different package however, then it should have a different
name.
