Factor out the code to find gcc, and add a command-line option to override the default executable name. This should help cross-compilation by allowing a cross-gcc to be specified from the configuration file instead of only through the CC environment variable.

module union1;

union U
{
    float f;
    int i;
}

void main()
{
    float f = 2;
    U u = U(f);
    assert(u.i == *cast(int*)&f);
}
