Replying to [comment:49 jpflori]:
> It's nice to be able to test some crazy combination and having the
possibility to do so by setting one or two envvars rather than hacking
into the code.
I disagree, its a drain on the development process to try to support
nonsensical combinations without any benefit. Some user will fall into the
spike-filled traps and then complain (rightfully) why some combination of
envionment variables causes everything to crash and burn.
> And SAGE_INSTALL_GCC will not treflect what it does anymore.
We should have called it `SAGE_INSTALL_GCC`. The compilerwrapper was also
originally called gccwrapper until somebody on this ticket pointed out the
stupidity of it.
> For the prefixed gcc issue, just prefix it all the time and if there is
no wrapper installed then create symlinks.
Then, later, you install the compilerwrapper. Even later you disable the
wrapper. Bang, your compiler is now gone. I'm sure this will be a crowd-
pleaser.
