Details

I've noticed some .pyc bytecode which isn't properly tracked by the gcc package.

/usr/share/gcc-7.2.1/python/libstdcxx/v6/__pycache__
/usr/share/gcc-7.2.1/python/libstdcxx/v6/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-36.pyc
/usr/share/gcc-7.2.1/python/libstdcxx/v6/__pycache__/printers.cpython-36.pyc
/usr/share/gcc-7.2.1/python/libstdcxx/v6/__pycache__/xmethods.cpython-36.pyc
/usr/share/gcc-7.2.1/python/libstdcxx/__pycache__
/usr/share/gcc-7.2.1/python/libstdcxx/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-36.pyc

Ideally these would be generated during packaging using something like `python -m compileall' to avoid as many untracked files in the filesystem.
This task depends upon

That's hardly important unless user executed gcc as root, but I will fix it for fake packaging quality points.

Thank you...

Users will inevitably run gcc as root even if not via makepkg. DKMS is a popular example.
