Unfortunately, yes. The point is that Perl modules with XS parts
require _exactly_ the C compiler under build-time which was used at the
built-time of Perl. The "build-time" of a module (usually in package
"perl-xxx") is the "run-time" of "perl", hence the "perl" package
requires under both build- and run-time to "gcc".
