See also: "minimal example". :)

The actual case uses [ppu-gcc gcc cc], and "enable-foo" is actually an 
option to enable code that uses the Cell coprocessors.  It will likely 
in the future get more complicated by using that for the native compile 
and use just [ppu-gcc] for the cross-compile.  And it's also doing both 
C and C++, but that doesn't matter to this AFAICT.

Apologies for not being clearer about why I was doing this (I used "gcc" 
because I was trying to make a more-portable minimal example), and 
thanks for your help!
