           Summary: DMD should support linking with something other than
                    "gcc"
           Product: D
           Version: 0.150
          Platform: All
               URL: http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-
                    bin/wwwnews?digitalmars.D.bugs/6650
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: unknown@simplemachines.org


Currently, "gcc" is hardcoded in link.c.  It seems to me that this should, instead, respect the $CC environment variable - so that, at least, a "gcc32" could easily be used by modifying dmd.conf (without creating a silly symlink or something.)

This would probably be more portable and work better when gcc is not on the path, but CC is set.

Thanks,

Change link.c to respect $CC, if set.

This patch simply tries a getenv for CC, but falls back to gcc.

This bug was apparently fixed in 0.151, could someone verify it?
