Actually, looking at the code, it would cause devd to be built, but
not installed without changes.  Since NO_GXX is defined in the above
scenario.  I've started to think about how this might be fixed.  It
really is a 'don't build this because of toolchain depends' as a
'don't build his because I don't want this feature' intertwinglement.
