then, you will see a '<your-gcc>: command not found' very early in the
build and every developer knows that '<your-gcc>' could not be found.

When a misconfiguration is difficulty to detect or causes hidden breakage,
sanity checks are important.

But in this case, the check causes much more harm than it tries to solve
(it will trigger e.g. for 'gcc -m32' too).
