This may not be the place to ask... and I'm not sure I'd like
the answers -- but I'll ask anyway:
(1) is it standard (practice) to link cc to gcc? (and who says it is
standard practice?)
and
(2) how many people here have done this?
As far as linking cc to gcc breaking things. I'll provide examples.
Say, was the SunOS cc ansi compatible? I really do remember
commany line options to cc that didn't work with gcc and
vice-versa.
