   The standard in this case has nothing to do with gcc. While the "system"
compiler happens to be gcc, it should function as a traditional system "cc"
compiler. This means that it shouldn't be off messing with "local" directories.
   I feel pretty strongly about this - I've been hosed by its behavior myself
when it was off snooping at some junk I had in /usr/local. Should I desire to
install another 'gcc' in /usr/local/*, then that one can poke around in there,
but the system supplied compiler should not.
