I don't have the time to test this now, but this might have
funny side affects. Since cc itself is commonly a symlink to
gcc / clang etc, it will find the same compiler twice. Not sure
if this is handled correctly.

In my hacky attempt to support this I also stored the actual
compiler name, since it is concatenated with gcc somewhere
else if I recall correctly.

Anyway, unless you are sure this works, I don't mind dropping it,
for the time being. There are some more issues for e.g. FreeBSD,
gcc will get installed in /usr/local/bin and carries a version number
like gcc47 etc. clang on linux is just clang and there is no cc
version etc.

Jeroen
