[bug#64929] [PATCH] gnu: gcc-toolchain: Create a 'bin/cc' symlink.

[Attila Lendvai]

There are many projects that don't have a configure script that finds gcc.

Also makes it more symmetric with the clang-toolchain, that also does this.

* gnu/packages/commencement.scm (make-gcc-toolchain): Create the symlink.
---

i'm not sure what was the conclusion about this. clang-toolchain does
create a cc symlink, so i have mirrored what clang-toolchain does into
gcc-toolchain.

i thought i'll send this patch lying in my kludges branch, and
offer it either for rejection or inclusion, as you see fit.
