Huge numbers of packages pass gcc-specific CFLAGS and LDFLAGS. These are
important, because running 'cc' without these flags can often generate pure
garbage for code. (WvDial and g++, for example -- I looked at the assembly
output, and was not impressed!)
If you want to use 'cc', just force CC=cc on the command line. If that
doesn't work, that's a bug.
