The illumos build uses /usr/sfw/bin/gcc,  If the build finds or tries
to use /usr/bin/gcc, something is wrong with illumos.

That's why /usr/sfw/bin/gcc must be left alone /usr/bin/gcc should be
fine.  Of course, it's probably a good idea for someone to test that.

The patched GCC4 is not important until the changes to illumos
integrate.  The intent behind the way we were structuring the GCC
paths going forward was that the need for a special GCC for illumos
does not impact any other use of GCC in the system.  That is,
/usr/gcc/X.Y.Z was to be used by people who _specifically_ required a
version of GCC, such as illumos, whereas /usr/bin/gcc could be a
convenient, user-appropriate, version.
