Ignoring building of GCC for pipeline

GNU Binutils (which provides the GNU Linker) is not ported to Mac OS
systems. GCC also takes a very long time to build, and if we are to still
have linking problems with LLVM's linker, it would be better to just ignore
GCC also and use the system's C compiler and linker together.

So for the time being, GCC isn't a main target of the basic dependencies
and won't be installed. But we have kept the rules that were checked on a
GNU/Linux operating system.
