As I mentioned previously, I believe your packaging of "jpm" is
correctly done.  I was hoping to get some understanding as to why it
doesn't work as expected, however.

As noted previously, coreutils is included as a dependency in the
profile.

Both fail for me.

Is my understanding correct that you're not using a "--pure" shell and,
thus, have "cc" provided by the system?  Could you please share the
output of "type cc" in the environment where you ran the above jpm
commands?

Even though it's listed under "Global options" for jpm?  Interesting.
If true, that would certainly explain why passing --cc didn't seem to
help.
