I don't know: the description he gave suggests that the Emacs package he
installed included a GCC ("embedded"), in which case that package should
make sure that Emacs uses this bundled GCC rather than any other GCC
that may be found on the system.

But maybe I simply misunderstood what he meant by:

    I mean, Emacs uses the "global" gcc (along with the libraries) which
    I have in the PATH environment variable, instead of which it has in
    the embedded package (the /bin subdirectory)."
