Hm. If the practical impact is very low, I suppose the best we could
do is to forbid 'cc' as a compiler without --tag.
*investigates*
Seems that upstream libtool does forbid 'cc' as a compiler without
--tag. The BINCC tag is a Debian-specific feature.
*investigates more*
The intended effect does seem to be that 'cc' would act just like a
synonym for 'gcc', but unfortunately in the loop that scans the
information for each tag to find a match for 'cc', the default
settings for variables like $pic_flag get clobbered. How about this
patch (untested)?
