| Sorry, my mistake - I should have said that you need to put 'CC=gcc-3.0'
| on make's command line, rather than in the environment. For instance:
| 
| 	[cjwatson@arborlon ~]$ cat test.mk 
| 	CC = gcc
| 	all:
| 		echo $(CC)
| 	[cjwatson@arborlon ~]$ make -f test.mk
| 	echo gcc
| 	gcc
| 	[cjwatson@arborlon ~]$ make -f test.mk CC=gcc-3.0
| 	echo gcc-3.0
| 	gcc-3.0
| 
| This will work unless somebody has used an 'override' command in the
| Makefile, but fortunately that's very rare.

Oh, sweet, that's the trick that works.  Thanks!
