there are still issues outstanding with pcc, it is work in progress

I use "make HAVE_PCC=" to enable the pcc compiler though I think this is
deprecated somehow

(and, it used to be that HAVE_GCC was disabled by this, but these days
HAVE_GCC is always defined, which is a bug -- I don't know who understands
this stuff and how its supposed to work. Jörg wrote the
AVAILABLE_COMPILERS stuff and Matthew Green broke the HAVE_GCC thing, as I
recall)
