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.
Ok, if we want the easiest possible "out of the box" experience for
newbies, then I have a better idea:
- introduce a helper script / Makefile.inc / whatever, called
rumprun-detect.sh
- This script either just uses $RUMPRUN_PLATFORM if set, setting $CC /
$HOST appropriately
- If $RUMPRUN_PLATFORM is not set, it goes hunting for
*-rumprun-netbsd*-gcc on $PATH. If it finds a *single* toolchain, it uses
that automatically.
- If it does not find a toolchain, it complains.
How does that sound?
