This mailing list is for report via send-pr and follow-up traffic only,

At the moment, the infrasture doesn't allow compiler names like that.
As work around, create a directory with symlinks to the real names, e.g.
cc -> /usr/bin/gcc44, c++ -> /usr/bin/g++44 and include that directory
first in the path.
