gcc was before cc in my path. I just logged in to my uni account to
check whether reversing them would help matters, but the sysadmin
(bless his soul) had fixed gcc.

I still think it should be possible to implement some recovery
behavior for the situation where there's a broken gcc in the path,
though I realize this may be a configure issue not a lynx one.
