I think -devel packages should not "Require: gcc" at all. Not with

To actually compile something using those headers you need the C (or
C++) build environment installed anyway, i.e. you need 'gcc' (or
'gcc-c++') installed so there's no benefit to the package giving it as
a requirement.

I forgot to add: if you don't want to actually compile using those
headers, e.g. you just want to look at them for some reason, then you
don't need the whole build env that 'gcc' installs.

So either you don't need gcc, or you need it but will already need it
anyway and so probably already have it anyway. And if you don't have
it and need to install gcc and maybe glibc-headers.i686, you only need
to do that once and it's done.
