I guess if nobody else is requiring gcc, it isn't necessary.

Nope, doc doesn't require devel. I can't even think of why I had that
requires in there... maybe because the doc has a lot of doxygen stuff for
the devel package? but this isn't necessary, there aren't any dependencies
(e.g. installing doc without devel is ok)
Actually, now that I think about it, devel doesn't require the libxerces-c22
package because you can link against the .dll.a libraries that are installed
in /usr/lib. libxerces-c22 is only required at runtime.
I've updated the setup.hint files for these two packages at:

http://abackus.imagineis.com/release/xerces-c/xerces-c-devel/setup.hint
thanks!
