15 How about simply using an environnement variable such as CC ? The user
16 would set it in /etc/make.conf as he already does with CFLAGS and
17 friends. But he would propably do the following instead :
18
19 CC=tcc; CFLAGS=-g; emerge stuff
20
21 CC would even allow to have multiple GCC version to choose from
22 (right?). And the best from a maintainer point of view: no
23 ebuild-specific work required.
