Ah, so you're saying this is not something that has been explicitly
done for Haiku, but rather the configure script for gcc has made this
decision for us? Interesting.

FWIW, I'm currently using Xubuntu 8.04 x86 (32-bit) for my haiku build
environment.

I didn't realize they were hardlinked - I'll have to double-check that again.

In any case, I will assume that either compiler may end up being used
for the compilation of Haiku targets during the Coverity scans.

Thanks,
