libc6-dev Recommends: gcc

Steve Langasek replied to bug #990982 [1].
Quoting him here for reference
<<
This issue comes from the Recommends: of gcc by libc6-dev. Perhaps libc6-dev should be changed to not recommend it; or perhaps we need a different solution, such as recommending a per-architecture virtual package instead.

But now, I wonder if this bug is not a duplicate of #990982...
