Having cc be a script that tels you to use gcc on the Sun is gross and
broken. I'm trying to prepare things like hesiod and moira for public
distribution, and it's nearly impossible on the Sun. One of them is
that the is a C compiler in a sane place. Not only is it a pain to go
edit the sometimes multiple makefiles that make assume ${CC}=cc, it
defeats the purpose of the testing I'm trying to perform by preventing
me from using the exact distribution that I'm trying to create and
verify.
Can't we make the script run the invocation of gcc it suggests with a
warning, or something.
