Installing a custom version of GCC or Autotools into your `PATH` has the potential to break lots of compiles so we prefer the Apple or Homebrew-provided compilers. Cross-compilers based on GCC will typically be "keg-only" and therefore not linked into your `PATH` by default, or are prefixed with the target architecture, again to avoid conflicting with Apple or Homebrew compilers.
