There is a bit of discussion in bug #487546 about whether using cc or gcc as the compiler is appropriate.
Particular questions: * Are Debian packages supposed to be built by default using /usr/bin/gcc (or whatever gcc is first in the path)? Or is it valid to use cc? * What interface is the "cc" alternative offering? Is it a GCC-compatible compiler, or a POSIX/SUS-compatible compiler? Currently, packages using cdbs will usually end up using CC=cc as their compiler, which is typically gcc, but doesn't have to. The submitter of the bug isn't really telling what exactly he is doing, but I guess it's conceivable to have another compiler than gcc in use, at least unless there is a ruling to the contrary on the above questions.
