ship gcc with 5733OPS

Include GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) as 5733OPS option.


Use Case:

We find many are needing to compile native extensions for Node.js/Ruby/Python/(PHP?) which requires a C/C++ compiler. The frequency is growing for those asking for this on spaces.litmis.com. Today we use perzl's gcc (thanks Michael) but it would be great if it was included in 5733OPS because it is turning into a foundational need.

    With IBM's emphasis on open source, not having the GCC seems contradictory. This is not only for the projects listed, but other open source utilities--e.g., GnuPG, 7-zip, expect, etc.
