Fair enough, so change the test to something like:
{{{
if [ "x`$SAGE_LOCAL/bin/testcc.sh $CC`" = xGCC ] && [ "x`$CC -dumpversion
2>/dev/null`" = x4.6.0 ] ; then
}}}
then we will know it is gcc, even if someone sets the environment variable
CC to be {{{/usr/local/bin/gcc}}
This release of gcc seems to have caused a fair number of problems for
Sage. I'm not aware of any other gcc "upgrade" which has caused so much
trouble.
