What?! That the compiler is called gcc is a standard Solaris setup? Now I 
don't understand. None of the Solaris machines I have access to come 
installed with gcc as standard.

Now, if I hack around and install non-standard stuff, I may end up with a 
gcc and maybe even a link to that from cc, but as I said, I'd call that 
non-standard and wouldn't expect an independent software bundle to know that 
that's what I'd been doing to my system.
