Details

I noticed that gettext depends on gcc.
I think it should just makedepend on it, as AFAIK gcc is not needed for normal operations of the software.
A quick look at the official site seems to confirm it.
I am providing a small patch for the PKGBUILD to solve the issue... it would be great to have the chance to remove gcc from the system once you have compiled your software, especially for security concerns.

Actually, the gcc dep is required
