I wanted to free up some space on my server box.  I was going through
trying to find what packages could be safely removed.  I don't have any
graphical apps on my server box except gvim, which is built with -gtk.
When I ran equery depends gtk+, it came up with gcc:

bullet ~ # equery depends gtk+
[ Searching for packages depending on gtk+... ]
app-text/ghostscript-esp-8.15.3
sys-devel/gcc-3.4.6-r2
sys-devel/gcc-3.3.6

Why is this?  I ran emerge -pv gcc:

bullet ~ # emerge -pv gcc

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-devel/gcc-3.4.6-r2  USE="fortran (-altivec)
-bootstrap -boundschecking -build -doc -gcj -gtk (-hardened) -ip28
-ip32r10k (-multilib) -multislot (-n32) (-n64) -nls -nocxx -nopie -nossp
-objc -test -vanilla" 0 kB 

Total size of downloads: 0 kB

Also -gtk.  Here's the USE line from make.conf:

USE="-rsvg -esound -esd mode-owner apache2 -oss apm -alsa -arts -avi
innodb berkdb bitmap-fonts -cdr crypt cups -doc encode fortran f77
foomaticdb gdbm gif gpm -gnome gstreamer -gtk -gtk2 imlib jpeg kde libg
++ libwww -mad mikmod -motif -mpeg ncurses -nls -oggvorbis -opengl pam
pdflib png ppds python -qt -qt3 -qt4 -quicktime readline samba sasl -sdl
spell ssl tcltk tcpd truetype usb -X xml xml2 -xmms -xv zlib x86 imap
tetex mysql threads ithreads pgsql virus-scan perl kerberos acl oav
libclamav offensive -ipv6 bind-mysql slp dhcp sendmail mpm-leader pcre
unicode session examples perlsuid pcre nptl nptlonly"

All -gtk.  I've recently completed an emerge -ND world (took all last
week), so why does gtk+ still  claim gcc?  Is this real?
