Mark, this appears to be simply a degeneration in the POSIX specification for `cc' which was removed and replaced with a patently unportable command `c99'. Probably because of nonsensical corporate influence. I indeed agree at this point that it should be left alone and that no symlink to `cc' shou

In order for makefiles to be portable without a configure script, one can _not_ hard code CC = gcc, or CC = clang for that matter. gcc111.fsffrance.org seems to work fine with basic testing with the `gcc' binary. However, this is incorrect. There needs to be in the very least a symlink from `gcc' t
