If so, should we keep -cc as an alias for -gcc, so as to simplify

The instructions can just say "set CC to the rumprun cross compiler you
built" or similar, I'd not bother enumerating the possibilities.
That adds a level of complication as opposed to just building software
for the host. If you run build-rr without setting CC, you now have to
know if your cc is gcc or clang. I assume most people are like me:
don't care what cc is as long as it produces runnable binary.
Of course, you do need to know if you're on 32bit or 64bit, but for that
64bit is a reasonable default. I doubt that anyone will be building on
non-x86 in a tutorial context.
