>             Project: Asterisk
>          Issue Type: Bug
>      Security Level: None
>          Components: Core/BuildSystem
>    Affects Versions: 13.26.0, 16.3.0
>         Environment: Any where main compiler is named differently than gcc, but there is also gcc 8.x around.
> Encountered in the FreeBSD port.
>            Reporter: Guido Falsi
>            Assignee: Guido Falsi
>            Severity: Minor

> In latest asterisk a check for GCC version has been added. It is performed by unconditionally running "gcc --version".
> If the main compiler being used is another one (F.E. cc) this check will test the wrong compiler and add compiler flags which may be incorrect.
> On FreeBSD the main compiler is clang, named cc. When gcc 8 is installed on the system, this check will return true, and add a compiler flag which is refused by clang, causing the build to fail.
> I'm going to propose a review on gerrit patching the Makefile to perform the check using the $(CC) variable, containing the actual compiler being used for the build.
