            Bug ID: 288461
           Summary: lang/gcc*: provide lang/gcc*-runtime ports or similar
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: michaelo@FreeBSD.org

I have a bunch of Fortran applications compiled with GCC 15. Properly linked
against and RPATH adjusted. Now when deploying on the target I am forced to
install the entire GCC package instead of just the GCC runtime dependencies:
ldacafe@deblndw013x1j:/usr/local/lib/gcc15
$ find . -name \*.so\* -type f -d 1 -exec stat {} \; | cut -w -f 8  | paste -s
-d+ - | bc
51248844

and the whole port has 400 MB.

Port maintainer, do you think this is viable with subports/slave ports or
alike?
