19 I'm not sure this is correct but I have to ask this. Since gcc is a
20 system package, it wouldn't try to upgrade gcc even if one was available
21 would it? I guess if something in world just had to have that or a
22 newer version then it would pull the newer gcc in but otherwise it would
23 skip it right?
