Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 ionic@…]:
 > "Software by default builds using "gcc" (or, equivalently, "cc") and
 this can be a problem if the user has changed what this is." - and that's
 what I'm adressing.

 The correct way to address this issue is for the authors of every port to
 ensure they're UsingTheRightCompiler.

 Neither "port select gcc" nor anything else in MacPorts should modify
 /usr/bin/anything. /usr/bin is for Apple to modify, and nobody else.
