But is this correct? Don't we really want 3 c compilers? Consider the 
case of cross-compiling. There's the c compilier for the native system, 
targeting the native system. There's also gcc running on the host 
targeting the destination system, and gcc running on the destination, 
targeting the destination. So the gcc in DESTDIR/bin might not even run 
on the compiling host. :-(

Take care,
