Would it be possible to have the spells which still need USEGCC2 to have 
gcc2 as a dependency? Instead of gcc having the dependency? I don't use 
any of the spells which still have USEGCC2. As it is, if you get rid of 
gcc2 you are pretty much out of luck anyway, since it won't compile with 
gcc 3.2, there isn't any way to get it back without going to a binary 
version. Due to that fact it may make sense to sustain it. That way if you 
really want to remove it you can, and it on't bother you again. Because 
currently, if a spell depends on gcc2 and it is not there, there is 
nothing sorcery can to to help. Is that correct?
