I don't know: the description he gave suggests that the Emacs package he installed included a GCC ("embedded"), in which case that package should make sure that Emacs uses this bundled GCC rather than any other GCC that may be found on the system. But maybe I simply misunderstood what he meant by: I mean, Emacs uses the "global" gcc (along with the libraries) which I have in the PATH environment variable, instead of which it has in the embedded package (the /bin subdirectory)." -- Stefan
