[Suggest] remove gcc dependency on most base pakage

I found we only need the gcc dynamic libarary when running, So, could we build an libstc++ library, instead using the 'gcc' always?

I think in this approach, can save more space on systems which just using the package without compile.

How much space? At most it will save like 10MB

For gcc-3.4.3-2.pkg.tar.gz, after extrat, it occupy 72381 k.

# du -ks *
296 bin
38904 include
4608 lib
25108 libexec
308 man
3138 share

for libary only, we can keep lib & share
that's will total 3138+4608 = 7746 k.

So, that will save about 65 MB.
And prevent user who compile his own util by gcc (security consideration).
