            Bug ID: 211154
           Summary: Mk/bsd.gcc.mk: add support for build-only dependencies
                    for USE_GCC

Several ports use USE_GCC but  manually remove gcc from RUN_DEPENDS by using
RUN_DEPENDS:=${RUN_DEPENDS:Ngcc*} after after including bsd.port.mk:
* sysutils/memtest86+
* sysutils/grub2-bhyve
* sysutils/grub2-pcbsd
* sysutils/grub2-efi
* misc/seabios

This is a very hacky approach.

There are several other ports (e.g. sysutils/uefi-edi2-bhyve) that have a
build-time dependency on gcc but do not depend on it at run-time.

Therefore support for adding a build-time dependency e.g. by setting
USE_GCC=yes:build or similar would be very useful.
