good point! and i think you're correct, because wrapper scripts set the value unconditionally.

would it work if we set CC instead? idris first tries IDRIS_CC, and then CC (and then falls back to "cc").

or would you prefer to use substitute* in the build to replace cc = "cc" with a full path to gcc in the source code of idris?

i'm unable to answer that, i don't know the difference.

i just noticed that i can't use idris as-is when trying the examples, because it couldn't invoke the c compiler to produce executables. this is my attempt at fixing this issue.
