Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:7 peter@…]:
 > my intention was to have some special instructions for these power users
 that had them write their own gcc_select data files in
 ${prefix}/etc/select/gcc that pointed to their special compilers.

 > This was the only solution I could come up with given the constraints
 that 1) users can only input information to the Portfile in binary form by
 selection/deselection of variants 2) I don't know where the users will
 install their fancy compilers or what names they'll have. The gcc_select
 mechanism allows the port to be fed the locations of the fancy compilers
 implicitly, by the symlinks it creates. We can't just say CC=cc and let
 $PATH do the work, I think, because it doesn't seem like you can override
 the $PATH used to build ports, which is an entirely reasonable thing if
 that is indeed the case.

 Users ''can'' actually change the $PATH MacPorts uses (it's the `binpath`
 variable in macports.conf), but doing so is probably not a super idea;
 your gcc_select idea is probably the cleaner of the two. And as the author
 of such convoluted portfiles as [browser:trunk/dports/databases/oracle-
 instantclient/Portfile oracle-instantclient] and
 [browser:trunk/dports/emulators/minivmac/Portfile minivmac], I'm hardly in
 a position to complain.
