Comment:

 For the record: We've had [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 dev/2009-January/007035.html a discussion about this] on macports-dev now,
 and explained to Michael about how ports can set configure.compiler if
 they want a particular gcc compiler, otherwise they get the default Apple
 compiler; how configure.cc et al get propagated to the configure script
 via environment variables like CC; and that if a particular software does
 not respect that environment variable at configure time, then it is the
 responsibility of the port maintainer to ensure that configure.cc still
 gets used, using methods such as setting the CC environment variable
 during the build phase too or if necessary by reinplacing in the Makefile.
