See also my proposal (on the projects page) for an option
--enable-cc-links to install gcc under names cc, c89, c99 (for systems
where GCC provides the native C compiler).  Though we ought to design a
sensible configure option scheme - so that rather than --enable-cpp
--enable-cc-links --enable-javac or some such irregular collection of
options, we have --enable-install-names=cc,c89,c99,cpp,javac,java,jar or
similar to control which "generic" names (that might conflict with other
system programs) are installed.
