   ...a convention for having a failsafe way to change the compile
   name?

In util/imake.includes/Sun.macros, I put

             AS = gas
             CC = gcc
            CPP = /usr/local/lib/gcc-cpp
             LD = gld
STD_CPP_DEFINES = -traditional -fstrength-reduce -finline-functions -fpcc-struct-return
    STD_DEFINES = -O -traditional -fstrength-reduce -finline-functions -fpcc-struct-return

These values then propagate everywhere in a `make Makefiles'.  This
works fine with gcc 1.34 under SunOS 3.5.1.
