The package is a source-only package, but something else you have selected
depends on it. Because it is source-only, setup.exe has nothing to
install when doing the default binary-only installation; and even if you
do install source, setup.exe doesn't recognize that a source-only package
has been installed. Until someone patches setup.exe to add something like
a check-box to ignore source-only packages, then this will always be the
case. At least it is in the category of annoying but harmless; you aren't
missing any files necessary for gcc to work correctly.
