hello, I'm a regular user of Fedora 41 Workstation. I usually install all
my apps through one command which has tons of packages to it. So I'm not
sure which one of them pulled gcc as a dependency. But either way. While
installing all of them, dnf said:

(I included several more package installation reports after the warnings,
just in case)
even though this happened, I haven't noticed any of the apps breaking or
anything. Still, I decided to report this to you either way, since it could
be important. I'm sorry if I'm not using a correct mailing list for this,
I'm a very non-tech person, so I have no clue how to do this. Also, I'm
sorry if this is something I should've rather reported to Fedora's
packagers of libgcc. I'll probably let them know of this too, just in case.
This does appear to be an issue with the Fedora packaging of gcc, and
has nothing to do with gcc itself. For most Linux distros, packages are
made with a tarball of the actual program and files, along with scripts
for installation and setup (and information data, and no doubt other
things). This looks like they the scripts are using outdated or
deprecated calls. So yes, the Fedora packagers would be the ones who
would appreciate the bug report.
