the GCC package has to be self-contained for both build, testing, and
deployment. If you use the system for development, you have the resources on
this system, so "useless waste" seems to be non-issue. If you want to lookup
the additional directories, please provide a patch, get it upstream, and then it
will find its way in the packages.
