So, this is a SCL of newer tools right?
Does this result in a runtime dependency? Or just a build time one?
ie, will everyone using packages built with this have to install it
also, or it's just a buildrequires?

Well, one question is the R-core-devel package. Currently it requires gcc-c++
and gcc-gfortran. Presumably if R were compiled with the devtoolset compiler,
it would need to require those to build add-ons locally. Not sure though.
That's perhaps not many people though.
I'll also note that R currently BRs gcc-objc but I don't see any devtoolset
gcc-objc packages.
