Re: PATCH: rename CC to GCC in gcc.c comments

While reading gcc.c the other day, I discovered that the comments in
this file refer to the compiler driver as `CC'. Perhaps it is intended
to be this generic, but it seemed logical to me that these be changed to
`GCC'.

I think CC here refers to cc1/cc1plus, etc.


Thanks,
Andrew Pinski



Tested with a bootstrap on x86_64-linux. OK for the trunk?
