I should make this symlink from the shell, before starting perl? Or
inside perl? Shouldn't the symlink be for "cc", not "gcc", since that's
what the makefile is issuing?

What should be "foo" in your example above? I have about a dozen
"bundles" to install, and who knows how many files that will compile.
I'm still confused.
