With these changes I get this error:

        Wrong type to apply: "CC=gcc"

Yes, I would also prefer to use cc-for-target. But I wanted to simplify
my code first. Because in order to use cc-for-target, I have to use
backticks. If you have a suggestion for how to use both cc-for-target
and #$output, let me know.

Please don't assume gender. But yes, you can refer to me with the "he"
pronoun.
