It's very common for binaries built with gcc to link to libgcc, and/or
libstdc++:

ldd firefox-bin  | grep gcc
	libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/gcc46/libstdc++.so.6 (0x802b19000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/gcc46/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x8033a5000)

In an ideal world, we would have separate packages for the runtime libs
and the build tools so that packages could be more portable, but I would
imagine that would be a lot of work.
