But if you compile Sage with acme compiler then a different set of spkgs
will fail. So you don't gain anything from R and openmpi spkgs respecting
the SAGE_NON_GNU_CC environment variable.

But if I don't specify that variable, how can I specify what C compiler to use?
Just using "cc" is not such a good idea, as people can have more than one copy
of the C compiler installed.
Secondly, by having an environment variable, one can enable/disable a specific
compiler whenever one wants, which aids debugging. If would for example be nice
if one could debug these issues and get Sage to build with gcc. Doing that is
more difficult if spkg-install hard-codes "cc" as the C compiler.
