WTF, over?
Presumably this is the first gcc-4 compiled program you are installing.
The gcc runtime is provided as a shared library (libgcc_s, for good
reasons), and any gcc built program will need that.
Presumably also gcc-4.0-base contains this shared runtime library.
Hopefully it doesn't contain much else or that's hate for the packager.
For instance, /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 on FC4 is provided by the libgcc
package, which contains only these files:
/lib/libgcc_s-4.0.1-20050727.so.1
/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
/usr/sbin/libgcc_post_upgrade
/usr/share/doc/libgcc-4.0.1
/usr/share/doc/libgcc-4.0.1/COPYING.LIB
Cheers,
Martin.
