For some reason the gcc9 maintainer has decided to take it in a
different direction than all the other gcc packages, so there's no
gcc-libs support and thus no USE_PKGSRC_GCC_RUNTIME support.

This and the removal of many important patches makes it useless for
our (Joyent) requirements so we will be implementing our own fork.
