Change the default value of CC from gcc to cc to be more appropriate

this corrects building with the proper compiler on OS's using Clang
as the default compiler. This especially matters for the necessity for
TLS on OpenBSD. I would expect this affects OpenMandriva and other
Linux OS's using Clang as well.
I don't have a strong opinion on this one, I'd like to get feedback
from distro maintainers first. In any case it's trivial to set CC
while building so it's no big deal for sure.
It's not about package maintainers as they know to do the right thing. It's
about end users that don't know any better. In this case someone submitted
a bogus patch which was commited based on using the wrong compiler.
