/usr/bin/gcc on MacOS X is a wrapper that expects to call the (architecture-

dependent) real gcc binary with the same path as it has been evoked. When
it is called via a symbolic link this fails since the evokation path in that
case is the original one of the symbolic link. For that reason pkgsrc's
buildlink framework must be prevented from using symbolic links to refer to
/usr/bin/gcc.
