The attached patch fixes the build of eudev with the newer
gobject-introspection. It turns out that g-ir-scanner looks for the C
compiler as either 'cc' or as the environment variable 'CC'. So, the
fix was easy in retrospective :-).
The question is: do we want to make a 'cc' symlink to 'gcc' in the
'gcc' package? This is something that many distributions do. If we
don't, we may have to make a patch similar to the attached one for
several packages (or patch 'gobject-introspection' to look for 'gcc'
by default). Personally I would prefer the symlink approach.

Now that your updates are in master, I've merged them into the branch
wip-gobject-introspection.
To help see what works and what not, it would be helpful to set up
hydra to build the wip-gobject-introspection branch.
WDYT?
