I'm using a Linux machine that has multiple versions of gcc installed. The Mozilla build system can be tailored to use whatever compiler I prefer, by defining the CC and CXX environment variables. However, NSS always uses gcc, whatever is configured. In my default environment, I don't have even a compiler named gcc in my path, and therefore compilation fails.

What do you think about this patch? It fixes the problem for me. Second question, should we even extend this patch for all unix-flavor operating systems?
