Two problems:

Performing more than one cast at a time could cause the
second to fail if it depends on whatever was dispelled (or worse yet,
resurrects it to satisfy a dependency after the other cast instance
dispelled it).

The bigger problem is that the conflicts all seem to be with headers gcc
creates. I don't think dispelling gcc would work very well before
compiling! :-)
