Comment (by RJVB):

 I agree, but we also have to be pragmatic. Better is often the fiend of
 good, iow, there's no hard reason NOT to implement a solution now that
 helps avoiding unnecessary rebuilds (and that doesn't attempt to introduce
 "functionality that should be in base"). Removing the variant I'm
 suggesting here would be easy enough if and when split packages become
 available.

 FWIW, while split packages would be really nice they won't help prevent
 unnecessary building for people who just need port:libgcc. I know, an open
 door, but the opposite would have been another good reason to implement
 the feature already ;)
