Again, there have been few cases where this has caused problems (on the
order of 10-20 packages out of 1000.) I agree it’s better if we can
avoid these problems altogether, but it’s not a real threat either. ;-)
What about doing this:
1. Someone (Fede? :-)) opens a bug against GCC at
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> suggesting to install the ‘cc’
link.
2. In the next core-updates, we introduce (setenv "CC" "gcc"), as
suggested by 宋文武, which is the least intrusive solution. It
will fix most uses I think, but not all (for instance, GLEW has
“CC = cc” hard-coded in its Makefile, so it will still need
patching; this is fine, IMO.)
WDYT?
