It won't, since you need to rebuild everything that uses gcc. Bumping PR
for gcc-cross would just give people a false sense of security. I'm not
against bumping PR for gcc-cross, I'm just saying that it doesn't come
close to fixing the problem at hand, which is packages with missing
dependencies (libgcc for normal ones, libstdc++ for c++ ones,
libgfortran for fortran ones, etc).

Do you know how requires work in OE?

conf/distro$ grep require angstrom-2008.1-legacy.conf
require conf/distro/angstrom-2008.1.conf
