need to read the ABI definitions to use it from their non C/C++ code.
That makes a C/C++ header file consumable by pretty much any kind of
compiler, so it's *completely useless* to try to make C/C++ devel packages
pull in a compiler, via virtual provides or not.
Hello,
These are all _very_ edge use-cases. The primary use is to build the
software. Hence pulling in a compiler will not be quite harmful; it is
certainly not *completely useless*.
On the other hand it will clear up vast majority of the build
failures. I was trying to come up with the least intrusive solution.
