Details

The DRI drivers (including swrast, which is shipped with libgl) link to libgcc_s.so.1.

readelf -d /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/swrast_dri.so

***snip***
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libgcc_s.so.1]
***snip***

To fix this, move the gcc-libs dependency from mesa to libgl.

This was caught by namcap while packaging lib32-mesa 7.9.0.git20101207-2.
This task depends upon

Nothing should depend on gcc-libs... Your system considering booting depends on gcc-libs so if you do not have it installed you have bigger issues than libgl missing a dependency. All this achieves is slowing down pacman's dependency checking.

So it should be a namcap issue ?

yes, namcap should only be a guide, not a definitive tool, especially since development of it has been fairly slow.
