If you are fixing this upstream, an alternative to the second patch
would be taking CC from the environment. Unfortunately, you cannot just
say
CC ?= gcc
as CC has a default and the assignment would be ineffective, but you can
say
ifeq ($(origin CC),default)
CC = gcc
endif
and have a CC assignment in the environment take precedence. Or you just
use the value of CC being "cc" (i.e. remove the CC assignment). These
alternatives can benefit other Linux distributions.
