--with-gcc does not work well

What command was make running when this happened?

There should have been a flag like
    --configure-option=--with-cc="/usr/bin/gcc"
where /usr/bin/gcc is the value of CC_STAGE0.

For CC_STAGE0, we deliberately use the C compiler that the bootstrapping
GHC uses, not the value of gcc that you specify with --with-gcc.

What is @CC_STAGE0@ replaced with in mk/config.mk?

And what is the output of
    /usr/local/bin/ghc --info | grep "C compiler command"
(assuming /usr/local/bin/ghc is your bootstrapping compiler)?


Thanks
