Subject: qtbase <at> 6 retains reference to ‘gcc-final’

The closure of ‘qtbase’ is unreasonable large, and this is in part
because it retains a reference to GCC:

This comes from a CMake file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ grep -r 5lqhcv91ijy82p92ac6g5xw48l0lwwz4 /gnu/store/0zqk6bmgvwxh1kx963hhknwnqh3h0iik-qtbase-6.3.2

We should remove this reference.
