libgomp1 dependency
It seems there's an inconsistency between gcc-4.3 and gcc-4.4: gcc-4.3 has no
dependency on libgomp1, while gcc-4.4 does. IIRC, gcc-4.3 used to depend on
libgomp1 until recently; however, I can't find any changelog entry to indicate
whether dropping the dependency was intentional or whether it was an
oversight. If it was intentional, then why does gcc-4.4 still have the
dependency?
The result of this is that a package linking against -lgomp, without declaring
a Build-Depends on libgomp1, will possibly link that library statically --
which will fail if the target is a shared library, as in #536826.
