No, not in poudriere, in poudriere it will simply notice the gcc48
package is already build and instal that in the jail for the ports
needing it. For ports which were calling lang/gcc it will still try to
build lang/gcc, since it failed and there is no ready to install package.

Was your description what you actually saw happening? this would be very
strange.

It is a bad feature of ports on a live system, poudriere avoids
this...at least it should.
