Is the variable really exported? Try
perl Makefile.PL CC=gcc
instead.
I remember having a Makefile.PL that explicitely overruled the
environment variable by using the compiler that perl was built with.
You can check which compiler that is with the command
perl -lMConfig -e 'print $Config{cc}'
Finally, is the gcc compiler really in the PATH? Remember that you can
lose settings depending on how you 'su' yourself.
