[Mistaken idea of removing cc]

Exactly.

Only reason I uttered my idea of:

cc -> gcc

And have that behaviour under a knob is that when I install other C
compilers and they make a cc -> whatevercc in /usr/local/bin or
something it will pick that cc up without mangling PATH back and forth.

Not a big deal if it's there or not, just eases work a bit.  But this
knob would be on by default to make the symlinks.
