I think you're looking at the wrong package.  The package named 'gcc' is
just an empty helper package whose only purpose in life is to bring in
(via dependencies) all the required packages of a functional gcc.  The
actual C compiler is gcc-core, the C++ compiler is gcc-g++, and so on. 
Those packages contain the modular source.
