However, my port requires that CC, CXX, CPP, and FC/F77 are all from a gcc variant. For example, it's not possible to compile it using CC=clang and FC=gfortran-mp-4.8.

Sorry for the late reply, but it took me a while to catch up. Ryan is
right, of course. You should really figure out why they aren't compiling
and try to fix those errors.
