Adds gnu.org/glibc + kernel.org/linux-headers as Linux runtime deps, and runtime.env CPATH/LIBRARY_PATH so end-user `pkgx gcc test.c` resolves stdlib.h, crt*.o, libc.so.6 from the pkgx-integrated bottle — without needing distro glibc-devel / libc6-dev (fixes Fedora repro in pkgxdev#8423). Pairs with pkgxdev#13083 (multi-arch triplet symlinks) to fully close pkgxdev#8423. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The runtime.env CPATH/LIBRARY_PATH leaked into gcc's own build (because
gcc bootstrap-depends on gcc), replacing brewkit's composed CPATH with
just glibc's include dir — and configure then couldn't find gmp.h:
checking for the correct version of gmp.h... no
configure: error: Building GCC requires GMP 4.2+, MPFR 3.1.0+ and MPC 0.8.0+.
The Linux glibc + linux-headers deps remain (they help downstream
packages link against the pkgx-integrated libc). The end-user CPATH
problem from pkgxdev#8423 needs a non-self-referential mechanism (configure
flag like --with-native-system-header-dir, or a wrapper script).
