Yes, we should do the same and use -gcc. That is what a standard cross-toolchain does, and configure is trained to look for -gcc as well. > If so, should we keep -cc as an alias for -gcc, so as to simplify > instructions to not always have to contain "if you want to use gcc, > set CC to -gcc, if you want to use clang, set CC to -clang"? The instructions can just say "set CC to the rumprun cross compiler you built" or similar, I'd not bother enumerating the possibilities. -mato
