Huge numbers of packages pass gcc-specific CFLAGS and LDFLAGS. These are important, because running 'cc' without these flags can often generate pure garbage for code. (WvDial and g++, for example -- I looked at the assembly output, and was not impressed!) If you want to use 'cc', just force CC=cc on the command line. If that doesn't work, that's a bug.
