We discussed this didn't we? We're not going to respect your CC or CFLAGS since upstream says this builds bad binaries. GCC is only being used as a preprocessor since bcc's either doesn't support a pre-processor or its implementation is incomplete. Hence the inclusion of sys-devel/dev86.

If you can, please add a simply comment in the ebuild, to avoid future bug reports.
