No, I've not built up such a list. I've seen it enough for me to recall
this edge-case. Most packages with a lone Makefile usually have:
CC=gcc
Or so. Some other packages (I remember this from our gcc-4.6 --> 4.7
transition) have hard-coded gcc versions, even though it built fine with
4.7.
So, no, but it's present. Shouldn't take too much work to track this
down. This was something I was planning to do once the general feel was
that this was a good idea.
