First, I'm sorry for appearing to be a noob about this issue. Could
you please provide an spkg whose spkg-install script doesn't respect
the CC and CXX variables? Or an example of an installation script,
code, etc. along this line? Furthermore, could you please provide
links to relevant documentation, standards, etc. explaining how to
write installation scripts that respect the CC and CXX variables? I'm
interested in learning how to make the compilation of Sage and its
standard spkg's more respectful of the CC and CXX variables. What
better way to learn than from an experienced Unix user such as
yourself.
