           Summary: DMD should support linking with something other than
                    "gcc"
           Product: D
           Version: 0.150
          Platform: All

        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla at digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: unknown at 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,
