I just enabled http2 support in curl which requires www/nghttp2 library.

I'm unclear why nghttp2 requires gcc48 (and its dependencies) as a run
dependency. I do not think it does any on-the-fly compilation of code. For
small, controlled systems such as embedded systems, pulling in the compiler is
undesirable.

It appears to me that the line

 RUN_DEPENDS:= ${BUILD_DEPENDS}

is unnecessary in the Makefile, as the explicit BUILD_DEPENDS are already set
in the LIB_DEPENDS, which are build- and run-time dependencies already.
Specifying the BUILD_DEPENDS is also redundant.

My bug report is that it should not be requiring gcc48 as a run-time
dependency. This happens on FreeBSD 9 and 10.
