Then you'd have to update nearly every package that deps upon GCC to
have a [-justlibs] dependency. Arguably not so bad for GCC, but in
general it's a huge problem, and it's the reason [client] and [server]
flags aren't popular.
(And if features like those are desired, please don't start updating
zillions of ebuilds with [-blah] flags. Ask for an EAPI feature that
lets flags in IUSE be marked as "require me this way unless something
explicitly says otherwise"...)
