The issue has been discussed before, the problem that a lang/gccXX package is only a dependency if it was used for building. Previous builds linked those libraries statically into programs causing larger binaries, but also making the built package independent from the compiler. Does anyone have a clue how much bigger binaries get, because normally I'd prefer the static linking.
