6 OK, I'll admit that I cheated somewhat when installing Gentoo.
7 - I started off with a basic stage 3 install
8 - I did *NOT* emerge X; I ran "emerge bbkeys"
9 - bbkeys is the keyboard macro manager for blackbox, so it obviously
10 depends on blackbox
11 - blackbox is a Window Manager, so it depends on X
12 - X depends on a gazillion libraries

14 I let portage sort out what to pull in. See attachment dep.txt for a
15 list of depclean suggestions. See attachment deplist.txt for output of
16 a script that ran "equery depends" on all the suggested packages to
17 remove.

24 [m3000][root][~] equery depends =gcc-3*
25 [ Searching for packages depending on =gcc-3*... ]
26 sys-libs/glibc-2.6.1 (>=sys-devel/gcc-3.4.4)
27 sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-3.3.6 (>=sys-devel/gcc-3.3.3_pre20040130)
28 www-client/links-2.1_pre28-r1 (sys-devel/gcc)
29
30 It looks like nothing depends on gcc-3*.
