Comment (by robertwb):
For all intents and purposes, at the moment, gcc really means gcc. And
building a Cython extension with a different compiler than Python was
compiled with (and the relevant libraries, for C++ in particular) gets
really messy.
In any case, the point of this ticket is to introduce a framework that
lets us test optional doctests automatically, as they the current setup
means they're never tested and so quickly broken. We could do something
more sophisticated with CC, etc. but gcc, at the very least, provides a
common enough dependency to actually exercise this code for most (probably
all) developers (and it's not near as brittle as others).
