I tend to disagree, having multiple words in CC is unconventional, and
if we do that, we need to consider the consequences of straying from
the typical make convention. But I'd rather not get into what is
theoretically wrong or right, it just needs to work, so we do what we
have to. The fixpath trick concerns me on windows, all the extra
exec's and all, but I've kept quiet about it because I'm not that up
to speed on the specific issues. I think we need to watch fixpath
pretty closely, something tells me we aren't done with this issue,
just a gut feeling.
Since the CC specified in spec.gmk is not shared with any external
makefile, and all implicit or default rules are turned off (using -R)
it does not really matter that it does not contain a single executable.
It would be trivial to create a CC_PREFIX variable and change all
occurrences of CC to $(CC_PREFIX) $(CC), and the same for CXX, LD etc etc
But I am not sure this would help the cygwin/msys file system confusion.
fixpath does not incur the cygwin fork cost, because it is a windows
only program and uses CreateProcess, not a fork simulation.
