 90% of USE_GCC-ports don't use libgrotran & libquadmath. Many of them
doesn;t use libstdc++. virtualbox-ose-additions DOESN'T USAE ANY OF THESE
LIBRARIES! And I think, it is not unique in this regard!

 And, of course, 99.9% of them doesn't use Java!

  But all these ports, which uses only libgcc_s and/or libstdc++ don't.

  You try to explain why it is as it is now, from purely formal, technical
 point of view. I know, thank you.

  What It try to say, that now, when we have binary packages (thank you,
 everybody, who make it possible!) and we don't have gcc in base on
 10/CURRENT (and old gcc on older systems), we BADLY NEED way not to pull
 0.5G of dependencies with any package, which was build with gcc!

 There are "-static-libgcc" and "-static-libstdc++" flags for gcc... What
does they mean? I understand, that it is not for EACH port, but, maybe, for
most of them they are Ok?
