Guys, I don't really know who to add as reviewer. As far as I can see that GCC it not required at runtime at all. This seems to be an oversight or relic from the past.

The change was done by the latest update from @fuz if I remember correctly looking a few days ago and I was wondering the same. You can always add Ports Committers to see if anyone helps reviewing.

Unrelated: there's plenty of other ports pulling various versions of gcc or llvm in not needed at run-time so if you want to continue this quest of cleaning this up with ports maintainers that will be much appreciated! :)
