[Solved] And/or in makedepends?

I'm creating a package for aarch cross compiler and in order for glibc to compile, it depends on gcc. For cross compilation, glibc can either be compiled with the full gcc, or a bootstrap compiler. How can I set that glibc either depends on the full-gcc or the boostrap compiler?
Is there a way for me to set makedepends= to both (but not at the same time, as you cannot have both the bootstrap compiler and the full compiler installed at the same time)

What is the bootstrap compiler and which package contains it? If gcc and that package have a common provides entry, you can use that as the dependency.

I've worked around it be having both the bootstrap compiler and the full compiler provide the $_target-gcc, and have them conflict with each other. Works ok.
