Hmm.. It's not that easy. gcc still needs some patches and a pkg is just=20

I don't see that breaking a big and rather complex piece of software into=20
pieces simplifies the maintenance burden. IMHO a maintainer has to rebuild=20
the complete suite anyway, to check that his/her patch didn't break any=20
other part.

Yes, that should be changed. By reverting the change(s) and make it one big =

pkg again or by making lang/gcc a meta-pkg. (But that's the
decision of the maintainer, since he has all the work...)
