Strange as it may seem, this is actually by design. The gcc packages do
not depend on libc6-dev because, while the vast majority of code you
wish to build with gcc require libc, there are useful things that you
can build without libc (the kernel, for example). The gcc packages
already Recommend: libc6-dev, which is the strongest non-binding
dependency relationship available.
Just install libc6-dev when you need to build something that uses libc,
or use aptitude (which installs Recommends by default), or wait for
Hardy (where Recommends should be installed by default).
