If so, should we keep -cc as an alias for -gcc, so as to simplify
instructions to not always have to contain "if you want to use gcc,

The instructions can just say "set CC to the rumprun cross compiler you
built" or similar, I'd not bother enumerating the possibilities.
That adds a level of complication as opposed to just building software
for the host. If you run build-rr without setting CC, you now have to
know if your cc is gcc or clang. I assume most people are like me:
don't care what cc is as long as it produces runnable binary.
Of course, you do need to know if you're on 32bit or 64bit, but for that
64bit is a reasonable default. I doubt that anyone will be building on
non-x86 in a tutorial context.
