 The code is intended to allow a user to set both CC and PKGSRC_COMPILER 
 in /etc/mk.conf, e.g.
 
        CC= /my/beta/sunpro/cc -super-optimize
        PKGSRC_COMPILER= sunpro
 
 The problem here, which I didn't detect on my GCC system, is that the 
 value of CC in sys.mk is implicitly set before any CC in /etc/mk.conf is 
 set.  I verified this on my system by adding:
 
        CC?= myflargle
 
 to /etc/mk.conf and running "make show-var VARNAME=CC" in 
 pkgsrc/security/priv, which yielded "cc", the value set from sys.mk.
 
 By the time compiler.mk is included, there isn't any way to determine 
 where CC is being set -- all we know is that it's been pre-defined 
 before compiler.mk is included.
 
 This problem is somewhat tricky to fix because there are several 
 conditions that must be preserved in any fix to the system, and I'll 
 need to first write some regression tests for them.  It will be hard to 
 simply back out the change because many other commits subsequent to it 
 that depended upon that change being present.
 
 For now, one workaround is to simply add:
 
        CC=  /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc
        CXX= /opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC
        PKGSRC_COMPILER= sunpro
 
 to your /etc/mk.conf.
 
        Cheers,
