Dear David,

Yes, I do have several versions installed. The packages `gcc-4.9`,
`gcc-5`, and `gcc-6`.

Thank you for that suggestion, which Stefan Tauner also brought up in #
coreboot at freenode.net. In Debian `cc` is not really managed by update-
alternatives.
```
$ LANG=C sudo update-alternatives --config cc[sudo] password for paul:
There is only one alternative in link group cc (providing /usr/bin/cc): /usr/bin/gcc
Nothing to configure.
$ LANG=C sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for gcc
```
As this is not required in other projects, like SeaBIOS, would it be
useful to be able to pass variables in, so that the command below would
work?
```
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-6 CC=gcc-6
```
Thanks,
Paul
