As per Changes/Remove GCC from BuildRoot, I'm going to automatically add

autotools/cmake/meson are supported).
I'm going to do this tomorrow.
After which, I'm going to ask rel-eng to finally remove it from buildroot. This
will happen before mass rebuild. Stay tuned.
After adding explicite gcc/g++ in BuildRequires it will be extreamly
hard to switch use for example to use clang.
Well, you imply that currently we could just substitute clang for GCC
and successfully rebuild everything, but that is not the case: there
will be breakage. With an explicit dependency, the packagers can check
clang compatibility ahead of time and prepare for the change. Things
that require GCC will give a build-time error instead of mysterious
compile or run-time failures. Packages that truly don't care about the
compiler (which hopefully will be in the majority) can use boolean
dependencies: BuildRequires: (gcc-c++ or clang)

Congratulation.
Come on now...
