Description:

zsnes requires gcc as a normal dependency, which itself has many dependencies. gcc is required to make zsnes, but only its supporting libraries are required at runtime.


Additional info:

I suggest moving gcc to makedepends, and add 'glibc' 'gcc-libs' to normal depends. Please see ammended PKGBUILD file for details.
