Comment(by ionic@…):

 "Software by default builds using "gcc" (or, equivalently, "cc") and this
 can be a problem if the user has changed what this is." - and that's what
 I'm adressing.

 I think port select gcc should set the default compiler and given that,
 also at least to some degree make sure it's used.

 At the very least, it should create $PREFIX/bin/cc too (does not
 currently).
