+
+The official way is to use:
+
+ $ rpm --rebuild --define "with_cc /usr/local/bin/gcc" rsync-*.src.rpm
+
+ This on-the-fly overrites the l_cc variable. I think we should add this
+ to the FAQ and/or the handbook because it certainly is the main pitfall
+ in bootstrapping on Solaris.
+
+What I did (although I temporarily defined l_cc in rpmmacros until I got
+gcc built, it would be similar with the command line opts), was:
+
+- built make-*.src.rpm (because gcc-*src.rpm depends on it) using
+/usr/local/bin/gcc
+
+- built gcc-3.2*.src.rpm using /usr/local/bin/gcc
+
+- installed the resulting gcc-3.2*.rpm
+
+- built rsync-*src.rpm using the newly installed openpkg gcc-3.2 (this was
+just to test if the new gcc worked)
+
+- Now, I've rebuilt gcc-3.2-*.src.rpm using the openpkg gcc-3.2, and I
+plan on installing that (after uninstalling gcc-*.rpm).
+
+- after that, I plan on rebuilding rsync and various other src RPMs
+(probably make as well, though I might have to force it because of the gcc
+dependency)
