GCC option

For very simple uses, GCC isn't required for kBuild. Under most circumstances
it is, but when you only need virtualbox-ose-additions without X11 and you're
on amd64/i386, GCC isn't necessary.

It would be really nice not to have to build GCC and all its dependencies.

The attached patch makes GCC optional, and enabled by default, with warnings
that it should only be disabled under specific circumstances (with a pkg-help
file to spell out what those circumstances are).
