_--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---_

which is more reasonable to justify the difference in the package 
derivation output contents. But still, where does that dependency on 
gcc-lib comes from? And if one of them is a "more complete" version of 
the other, Why are both packages installed into the profile?

Thanks in advance,
Luis Guilherme Coelho
