More generally, make a script called gcc that looks like this
#!/bin/sh
exec /path/to/real/gcc -foo -bar $*
Using $CC won't work for all makefiles. Using aliases won't work for
any makefiles. Having a "real" executable on the path will work in all
situations, even what that executable is just a wrapper script.
Even in this case, please modify the "real" gcc sources to emit a different
bug reporting address and URL.
