Yes - configure is the preferred mechanism for altering
Makefiles, and the point of providing it is that in most
cases it *does* do this.
There's obviously something going wrong with this specific case,
but the answer is to track down and fix the particular problem -
not to give up on the whole mechanism.

Errr... I'm a little confused as to what you are actually doing.
I'm not sure I understand the purpose of renaming gcc - or even
whether this is the name of the actual binary, the lines in the
Makefile(s) or what.

If you've made changes to the underlying system, then it's probably
best not to rely on any cached information remaining valid.
Can I suggest that you start again with a clean system - with
binaries named the way you'd ideally want them to be.
Check that there isn't a file 'config.cache', and then run
the configure command again.
a) Does the configure script run correctly?
b) Do the Makefiles refer to the correct compiler?
c) If not, what does
grep uclib-gcc *
report ?

I'm impressed!
I've been working in this industry for 25 years, and I still
manage to do stupid things occasionally (OK - frequently).
Working as a non-privileged user has saved me a lot of
embarrassment over the years.
I admire your confidence, if not your caution :-)
