Re: Vim using wrong $PATH to find gcc?

Are you sure that Vim's `system` function is using the same shell that
you use interactively? That is, does `:set shell?` print "/bin/tcsh" (or
wherever it's located on your system)? It could be that it's using
/bin/sh instead, which I believe is the default if your SHELL
environment variable is unset.

Or perhaps `system('which gcc')` is executing the command in a different
environment than the one used by your interactive shell. For instance,
maybe the PATH variable is somehow being modified by the shell invoked
by `system`. Probably unlikely, but not hard to check.

At the very least, you could try using

:let &makeprg = 'make CC=/los-178/2.2.2/rsc/cdk/sunos-xcoff-ppc/bin/gcc'

to tell make explicitly which gcc to use. This assumes that the Makefile
for your project uses the CC variable to refer to the compiler, but
that's pretty much standard practice (s/CC/CXX/ if you're using C++
instead of C).
