No.  The use of shell variables is the standard way to tell the Unix
make program to use a particular compiler.  It applies for *all* Unix
variants.

However, there are two ways to do it:
1: export the variable then run the build:
     export CC=gcc-3.4
     make

2: A single line, which sets CC for just the make command:
     CC=gcc-3.4 make


Method 1 leaves the variable set for all commands run from the same
shell, until you change it or exit the shell.
