That was more for the case where we do just invoke xlc and change the
flags to make it more like xlc_r and cc. If we just use xlc_r as-is for
everything and that works (should that work? should we just try it?),
the only confusing thing is that we used the 'xlc_r' configuration
instead of the 'cc' one. Since we need xlc_r to work anyway for
pthreaded stuff... it's hard for me to see a problem.

(But again, that's _if_ it's okay to use xlc_r for everything. I don't
see a reason why it wouldn't be, though)
