Well your gcc wrapper scripts can always use the environment variables you
want, and create the appropriate command lines. I tend to be on the side of no
environment variables, because it makes is one fewer thing that a user could
forget to include on their bug report. With explicit command lines, it is more
likely that the GCC community would be able to debug problems.
