Every package which requires C++ has to depend on "gcc" because we
cannot assume a C++ compiler on every platform. We only assume "cc" on
every platform and that this is an ANSI C compiler. C++ would be a too
strong requirement. Hence every C++ based package has to require "gcc",
because this provides C and C++.
