Yes i have noticed that even with CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc It was defaulting to /usr/bin/gcc on some of the compile steps as this was first in my $PATH.

Notably when you run make modules bzImage the script appear to accept CC for some parts of the compilation and not for others.

I ended setting CC to the compiler I wanted and swapping around path so it would pick up the correct gcc

What is status?
	Status is when the President calls you for your opinion.

Uh, no...
	Status is when the President calls you in to discuss a
	problem with him.

Uh, that still ain't right...
	STATUS is when you're in the Oval Office talking to the President,
	and the phone rings.  The President picks it up, listens for a
	minute, and hands it to you, saying, "It's for you."
